If you feel like you can’t find any new content on Netflix anymore, it’s simply down to the algorithm. It largely suggests films and TV series that match your previous viewing history. Or, if you scroll the home page, you tend to find Netflix originals, plus series and films that are trending because they’re on everyone’s home screens and everyone is watching them. We’ve written before about how Netflix doesn’t simply list all of its films and series ( it’s way more complicated than that ) because it doesn’t want to disclose exactly how much content it has. And it can be infuriating to browse all its weird sub-categories. But there is another way. The following secret Netflix codes can help you break out of your bubble and discover completely new, undiscovered categories. Using these codes, you’ll find thousands of streaming titles that the algorithm would otherwise never show you. How to enter the secret Netflix codes There are three ways to use the Netflix codes: in your browser, in the app on your smartphone or tablet, or directly on your smart TV. In your browser: This is the most convenient method. Go to https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/XXX and replace “XXX” with the desired numeric code. The advantage of this method: Netflix will immediately display the name of the category and clearly list all related content. You must be logged into your Netflix account to do this. Alternatively, you can simply enter the code into the search bar on the Netflix website. In the app: Open Netflix on your smartphone or tablet and type the numeric code directly into the search bar. The relevant titles will then appear in the search results. The top results will always be the best match for the selected genre. The further down you scroll, the less accurate the results become. On a smart TV: Just as easy as in the app. Open the search function and enter the numeric code. Tip: If you’d like to enter the codes more conveniently, you can use Netflix’s smartphone companion mode . This allows you to control Netflix on your TV directly via your mobile phone, so you don’t have to scroll through the letters using the remote control.
