Whenever we're in need of a good TV show Netflix seems to deliver the goods, but it can occasionally feel like we've watched it all. The Crown? Seen it. Bridgerton? Done. Harlan Coben's thousands of adaptations? Tick. But did you know there are secret Netflix codes that unlock hidden content types you might not have heard of?
Of course, it would be ridiculous to actually feel like you've completed the streaming platform. It's Netflix, so clearly there's so much more on there than we could ever imagine. But the nature of algorithms sometimes mean we're probably going to see the same things cropping up over and over. The good news is that there's a simple solution to this: a set of codes that will uncover hidden series and films for your viewing pleasure. Jackpot.
As we know, the algorithm suggests films and series to you based on your previous habits, which is super useful if you want to watch Friends again, but if you want to branch and watch a tear-jerking documentary it can be tricky to search their full library. Enter life-changing Netflix hack...
All you have to do to unlock all of Netflix's great content is type this link into your toolbar, replacing the four Xs with the code specific to the genre you want. http://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/XXXX
For example, the code for dramas is 5763, and if you want to get even more specific and search dramas based on real life, you'd use the code 3653. To bring up different sub-categories, you simply replace the XXXX with the appropriate code.
