Here’s How To Access Netflix’s Hidden Movies and TV Shows You May Not Know About

Choosing what show to binge on next on Netflix is one of the most trying decisions of our generation to date.

I spend more time than I care to admit scrolling, browsing through and trying to decide what movies and tv shows to watch on my favorite streaming service. In fact most of the time I spend all my TV time doing this instead of actually watching things.

The thing is, when you search normally, Netflix has a tendency to show you what THEY think you will want to watch based on they recommend. There’s a bunch of hidden stuff that you never even see unless you search it out.

UGH! Frustrating.

Well, guess what, there are actually secret codes to unlock EVEN MORE television shows and movies on Netflix. If you want to see everything you can watch on Netflix, there’s a way.

Here’s what you do to unlock the secret Netflix Codes on Netflix

First, you type this web address into your browser: http://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/

Then, you add the number from the category you want to browse (from the list of secret Netflix codes below) to the end of the url, so it looks like this: http://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/####

It will pull every single thing from the category you typed in. So if I wanted to watch basketball movies, I would type this in: http://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/12762

BOOM! Basketball movies!

Sometimes, when you type in a particular code it will give you an error like this:

That is totally okay, just hit the reload button and it will work!
