Secret Netflix Codes That Unlock More Shows Revealed

Subscribers of Netflix who want to maximize their viewing experience and get their money’s worth may find it useful to know that in choosing what to watch next, they should not merely rely on the provider’s recommended content. There is a vast wealth of content on the streaming service that viewers might be missing. There is, however, a collection of “secret codes” we will unravel here as a tip to subscribers and viewers of Netflix.

Apparently, the recommended content on one’s Netflix account comes from a rather complicated algorithm analysis based on a user’s viewing history. If one is not sharing the account with family members, friends or housemates, then chances are, most of those suggested content is fairly suited to one’s tastes.

The recommended list can still get boring or inadequate. There are “secret codes”, however, to help expand a user’s choices, and realize there’s much more to Netflix than what subscribers already know.

A small tweak to the Neflix URL will allow the unlocking of hyper-specific genres such as religious documentaries or even cerebral French-language dramas from the 1960s. Here’s a tip on how it can be done:

To manually explore categories usually hidden by the streaming service, one needs to enter the following URL:

http://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/INSERTNUMBER

One only needs to replace “INSERT NUMBER component of the URL with one of the codes needed to access the alternative genres.
