Netflix Has Dozens Of Secret Movie Categories And Lucky For You, We Know How To Get Them

Everyone knows that Netflix is one of the greatest inventions in the world. Thanks to the brilliant minds behind the streaming service, we can watch basically anything we want, whenever we want (like The Office 400 times). Netflix is like the gift we never knew we wanted for Christmas as a kid. We all know that usually, Netflix shows us things on our “home page” that we’d want to see. If you watch comedies, the streaming service will throw up a bunch of similar comedies on as your “first choices” to watch next. While there are other classic categories like “TV Shows, Drama, Action & Adventure,” it turns out, there are some “secret categories” on Netflix, too.

Whenever you hear the words “hidden,” or “secret, we all want to know one thing–how do we get it?!? Lucky for you guys, we’ve searched the web to see how we could get ahold of these secret categories and what they are. Essentially, you can only access these through a computer (not on the app) because you need to enter it as a  URL. There are “codes” that Netflix has that each represents a specific category.

All you need to do is enter this URL into your browser:

http://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/###

And, replace the ### with the codes for specific “secret categories.” I haven’t tried every single one–but, I’ve tried some of them and they’ve worked for me. You’re welcome, y’all!
