Anyone who has ever used Netflix will have realized the immensity of its catalog. In fact, one of the reasons why the Netflix algorithm works to offer each user the content that best suits their interests is to largely avoid having to browse its hundreds of content aimlessly.
However, it is likely that sometimes we want to see a specific genre or classic that the algorithm does not show us as the first results. For example, we don’t know what exact movie to watch, but we know we want an action movie or maybe a crime documentary. For this, Netflix hides some categories that are identified with a code and that help us find exactly what we are looking for.
In this article you will see how to access these categories and what the hidden Netflix codes are. Take note.
