Netflix Codes: How To Use & Unlock Hidden Categories
Netflix codes refer to a “secret” way in which Netflix subscribers can unlock hidden categories or genres to more easily find what they want to watch.
On the Netflix dashboard, you’ll usually see categories such as Trending, New Releases, Popular, as well as ones that say “Because you watched” followed by suggestions based on a movie or show you watched on Netflix in the past. Categories like Crime, Family, and Horror may also be present on the dashboard, but it’s not guaranteed. If you wish to browse a more specific genre, like Western Romance, you’re pretty much out of luck, unless there’s one in particular you’re gunning (pun not intended) for, as then you can search for it by name.
According to the Atlantic, Netflix offers close to 77,000 sub-categories, which means there has to be something for everyone, but it wasn’t always easy for subscribers to find what they were looking for. That’s where Netflix codes come in.
Netflix codes came into being thanks to the people behind a website called What’s On Netflix, who back in February of 2015 sought to correct a problem with the streaming service. A complaint they had heard a lot of from Netflix subscribers was that it took to long to find something to watch, so they launched Netflix codes, or what they dubbed the “Netflix ID Bible,” a system that does the hard work for you. All a user has to do is plug in a number or Netflix code into the Netflix search box. Every code, which is four or five digits long, takes the user to a specific category.
