Netflix codes provide access to hidden movies and series
Fans of Netflix, the now very famous streaming platform, have probably already found themselves in this situation: the content offered is not very… stimulating, shall we say. English speakers call it “ONS” for Overwhelming Netflix Selection.
This is because the content displayed on your Netflix profile is actually calculated by an algorithm that takes into account what you’ve already watched and what you watch on a regular basis. So the intention is good, but you may be quick to get around to it and want something else from time to time.
There is a way to multiply the selection of movies and series offered by using secret codes that reveal many hidden categories. To do this, simply insert “/genre/” followed by the code corresponding to the category you want to watch at the end of the URL (see the list of codes below).
For example, to watch action and adventure movies, whose code is 1365, you will have to type in the URL address: https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/1365.
Of course, you will need to have a Netflix account to benefit from all this content.
Here are the most popular codes. To make it easier and find your category faster, press Ctrl+F (for PC) or ⌘+F (for Mac) to search for the word you want in this article.
