Surfing the Netflix catalog can be crazy. The streaming platform is always promoting new tv shows and movies, but as we get out of the most popular first shows it is hard to find certain things. How much content did Netflix really hide in its catalog ?
To answer this question, the Netflix codes site has published a list of more than 200 Netflix secret codes. Through these codes, we can access all categories and subcategories of its catalog and find out which movies and tv shows it is made of.
To discover 200 of the categories and subtypes Netflix runs on its streaming service, we just need to have a browser on hand and paste the following URL:
https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/XXXX
"XXXX" corresponds to each of the following codes we see below. For example, if we wanted to watch the Comedy, we would have to enter the URL https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/43040.
We go there with a list of codes concerned for all kinds of genres, from action and adventure films, through science fiction, cult films, or romantic comedies. The list was updated until 2020 :
