Netflix secret codes: How to access hidden TV shows and movies on streaming service
Crack the Code: Unleash Hidden Netflix secret codes
Netflix boasts a stream library so vast, it could cause a popcorn shortage at your local store. Yet, as you scroll through it’s seemingly endless homepage, and before you know it, you’ve spent most of your time actually looking for something to watch, and still feel like you’re only scratching the surface. And that’s because you are! Netflix’s algorithm personalizes your experience, meaning you only see a fraction of what’s actually available.
But fret not, Insomniac streamer! because we have you covered. We’re going to show you a way to bypass the algorithm and unlock another world to streaming and enjoying more content on Netflix by using the Netflix secret codes
So what are Netflix Secret Codes?
Think of them as a streaming treasure Map to Netflix’s hidden gems. These codes are special category IDs that reveal hyper-specific genres and subgenres, once you know how to use them, they open up a whole new dimension of cinematic possibilities. It’s like having a secret menu at your favourite restaurant – you just need to know what to ask for!
The algorithm on Netflix only allows the end user to see very little, mainly recommended Movies and TV-Shows, so having these codes handy really will change the way you use Netflix, and get the best out of your subscription.
How to Use Netflix Secret Codes:
Using a smart TV/Firestick/Fire TV/Android
For those using the Netflix app via your smart TV, a Firestick, Fire TV or Android device, simply open the Netflix app, and head to the search bar, and enter the code. The app will then display titles related to your chosen category.
For users using Laptop/IOS/Apple devices:
Unleashing the power of these codes is surprisingly simple. Just follow these steps:
- Open your web browser and navigate to
netflix.com/browse/genre/. - Add the secret code for your desired category to the end of the URL. For example, if you’re craving a classic horror flick, use the code
31574. - Hit enter, and prepare to be amazed! You’ll be presented with a curated collection of films that match your specific taste.
Bonus: These secret codes work globally! Whether you’re in the UK, Canada, or anywhere else, the same codes unlock the same cinematic treasures.
The Secret Codes: A World of Possibilities
