Nearly 200 million people around the world have made Netflix their favorite destination to watch movies and series. You may be a very active user of the platform, but it could well hide unexplored borders. We suggest you discover all the codes to access the hidden categories and subcategories of Netflix.
It is still relatively young but can boast of having shaken up the codes of cinematographic consumption. Netflix will soon reach 200 million subscribers, three years after reaching 100 million users worldwide. A more impressive figure than it sounds. In France, more than 8 million subscribers have adopted Netflix.
The platform certainly doesn’t have all the movies and series you might want to see on it, but as the months go by, the Netflix catalog is enriched with several new ones. We also appreciate the user experience that allows you to enjoy movies and series in complete ergonomics. But Netflix’s catalog is still quite large and despite the rather effective recommendation system that takes into account your preferences, exploring the content can be complicated.
Some categories don’t appear on the home page. Unless you know exactly what you want to watch and search for it directly in the field provided, discovering interesting content is not easy. If you’d like to discover movies and series of a particular genre that are hidden in the submerged part of the iceberg, you’ll have to filter as much as possible.
There are codes provided for this purpose that give direct access to hidden content on Netflix. The categories and subcategories are listed in the following table, with the corresponding code for each category.

How to use a code to access a hidden Netflix category
Once you’ve copied or memorized — if possible — the passcode for your favorite categories and subcategories, accessing them becomes very simple. But be aware that it is only possible to redeem the codes from a web browser. If you prefer to see your shows and movies from the Netflix app, the only thing you can do is find them from a browser and then search for them in the app.
To go directly to a category or subcategory, nothing could be easier. Go to Netflix from Google Chrome, Firefox, or any other web browser. Enter the following URL http://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/CODECATEGORIE replacing CATEGORYCODE with the secret code listed above. The full list of movies and series in the genre is displayed. You now have a good base to draw from.
