Netflix has a wide range of categories for every type of film hosted on the entertainment service, but most are not visible at any given time. Here is how to access those hidden categories.
The New York Post recently posted a number of secret Netflix categories that viewers can use to access a wide range of content that may otherwise go unnoticed in Netflix’s vast library of films and TV shows. Netflix suggests content to users based on their previous viewing habits, but this can often result in the platform constantly suggesting the same films that a user has viewed many times before — with this list of secret Netflix codes, users can edit their Netflix browser URL to discover a whole new world of hidden Netflix categories such as “Asian Action Movies,” “Screwball Comedies,” and ” Social & Cultural Documentaries.”
In order to view these secret categories, users have to add a series of numbers to the end of their Netflix URL. In order to explore the categories visit the following link: http://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/INSERTNUMBER and replace “INSERTNUMBER” with one of the numbers listed below,
