How to find all hidden series and movies

Algorithms determine digital life in many areas today – including streaming services. But what if you don’t like the suggested content? The so-called Netflix codes, with which you can also find hidden series and films, provide a remedy.

The emergence of major streaming services has changed the viewing habits of many people. But in addition to hours of binge-watching, a lot of time can also go by when choosing a film or series.

Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Co. make every effort with their algorithms to offer suitable suggestions. But this does not always meet the actual taste of the user.

But on Netflix, there’s a relatively simple solution to breaking out of the algorithm’s suggestions. Because with the Netflix codes you can find all hidden films and series.

This is how you can enter the Netflix codes

The Netflix movie database is based on a number system. The streaming service has stored its own code for each genre, which you can use to display all films and series in the category.

This works very easily and legally via this link: www.netflix.com/browse/genre/CODE. Where CODE is noted as a placeholder in the link, all you have to do is enter the correct number for the desired genre.

Netflix Codes: The search also works in the app

The search with the Netflix codes works best via your browser. Because there you can enter the link with the desired genre code directly.

However, a short test showed that the search is also possible in the Netflix app. Although this only works to a lesser extent, it could be helpful if you don’t have a browser at hand.

Because if you enter the corresponding code in your app’s search, Netflix will also show you the desired and related genre. Top results that could match the code you entered will also be suggested to you here.

These Netflix Codes will take you to your favorite genre

If you want to find out the Netflix code for a specific genre yourself, you can simply search backwards. Because if you click on a certain genre in your browser, you will find the corresponding number in the URL.

So that you don’t have to search long, you can find the Netflix codes for popular genres and categories here.
