Do you know how to browse Netflix using secret sub-categories?
Netflix and chill is easier said than done. The world's premiere streaming platform offers so much content that you are spoilt for choice. You often cannot decide what to watch. However, Netflix's secret sub-categories can help you narrow down your search to end up watching something that suits your mood. Find out how.
New website can give you codes to make searching easier
As any regular on Netflix will know the content on the platform is divided by genre or category. However, having entire genres crammed down your throat can make choosing significantly difficult. Now, a new website called Netflix-Codes is doing the rounds, and it provides the secret codes to Netflix's subcategories that are bound to help you streamline your search across the broad genres.
But, what are the subcategories that Netflix has?
Netflix has broad categories on their platform like comedy, horror, action-adventure and drama. However, Netflix actually breaks these genres down into further subcategories. For example, horror would include further divisions like deep sea horror, monster movies, teen scream or zombie horror. Since these subcategories are technically a secret, Netflix assigns specific codes to them, which are then tracked by Netflix-Codes, the site we mentioned.
So, how are you going to search by the subcategories?
The process to search by subcategories on Netflix is straightforward on a desktop or laptop. Once you select a subcategory, you have to navigate your browser to https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/XXXXX and replace the Xs at the end with the specific code from Netflix-Codes website. You can also simply click on the hyperlinked codes on the website, and it will redirect you to the respective Netflix page.
The secret subcategories search only works on browsers
While the URL based search of the subcategories is immensely helpful to pick out something to watch, for now, only devices with browsers can access the codes. Therefore, viewers who enjoy Netflix on smart devices like Apple TV are out of luck, at present.
