How to use Netflix secret codes to find specific categories of movies and TV you’ll love

Are you feeling uninspired by the shows appearing on your Netflix home page? Netflix uses algorithms to show you things you’re likely to enjoy based on your past behavior, but it also tries to entice you with what’s currently popular and often promotes its own in-house content. Basically, sometimes your home page can look a bit same-y when Netflix keeps suggesting the same few shows, even though it’s one of the best streaming services for how deep its library is.

You probably already use Netflix’s search function to locate specific titles or to find movies or TV programs with particular actors or directors. You can also use the Browse function to show titles according to genres like action, horror, or comedy. But did you know that you can use secret codes to narrow down Netflix categories further, to find exactly what you want?
