Often, when scrolling through Netflix, it can appear that you’ve seen practically every movie on there or at least scrolled past every title. However, many intriguing titles can go beneath the radar thanks to the platform’s categories and targeted algorithms. Hence, if you want to stream something from a genre that doesn’t appear on the main page, you won’t be able to find what you’re looking for without a bit of know-how.

Fortunately, a collection of codes can be used to ease and enhance your search experience on the platform. These codes correspond to various specific genres, spanning from ‘Romantic Foreign Movies’ to ‘B-Horror Movies,’

To explore the webpage dedicated to each genre, simply enter the four-digit code into your web browser following this address: http://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/

Please bear in mind that this functionality is exclusive to the Netflix website and is not applicable to mobile devices, NOW boxes, or the Amazon Firestick.
