As most Netflix users know, the streaming platform has a ton of sub-genres and various films to choose from. The genres and titles that are highlighted for you are based on what you’ve watched and what’s on your list.
Nonetheless, certain sub-genres are hard to access because of its algorithm. However, you can access the wide array of choices that the streaming service hides from you using a simple trick.
It turns out there is an easy web address trick which will allow you to access any available sub-genres. The trick involves using codes which correlate with specific genres, ranging from “Cult Horror Films” to “Southeast Asian Movies”, but some genres are only available in certain regions.
All you have to do is input the corresponding code into after the following address: http://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/XXXX (Instead of typing XXXX, type in the series of code related to the sub-genre).
The downside to this trick is it only works on the website, and it won’t be available on other devices. However, you can just use the website to find the perfect movie to watch and watch it on another device.
A comprehensive list of genres can be found here, but you can browse a wide selection followed with their corresponding codes:
