How to watch hidden films and TV shows on Netflix

It’s nearly twelve-months since the pandemic made us all forced to stay at home and it was our societal obligation to sit on the sofa watching Netflix. However, if you’re now at a loose end with the streaming service and feel like you’ve watched everything there is to be viewed on the platform but there is no need to worry as there is a way to discover more films and TV shows that are hidden away waiting to be watched.

When you log on to the platform, the home page is awash with all the latest series that is captivating the world right now like The Queen’s Gambit and Bridgerton but there’s plenty more on Netflix than the newest programmes or what the algorithm thinks that you will enjoy. Due to the way that the platform works, all the library just can’t fit on to the homepage and there’s plenty more content out there that is waiting to be devoured.

All you have to do to access this content is to visit the specific genre’s webpage. There is one caveat however as this trick only works on web browser and you can’t do it on the Netflix app through a device such as Playstation or Smart TV.

As The Independent notes, to visit each genre’s webpage, all you need to do is input the four-digit code into your web browser after the following address: http://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/.

Alternatively, you can check out the full list of genres through the links listed below.
