The feeling of not finding anything when you search through Netflix’s overly extensive catalog has a cure. Or at least palliative. Despite believing yourself to be an expert in navigating between series and movie covers, there are still many genres and titles that hide in the shadows of the black and red web.
Believe it or not, there is a way to filter a search if you are convinced of at least the genre you would like to enjoy. Netflix has implemented a series of numerical codes that obey a specific classification with quite specific genres that range from “romantic foreign movies” to “B-series horror movies”, and they have formed a specific section with a code.
To visit the web page for each genre, all you have to do is enter the four-digit code in your web browser after the following address: http://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/. Do not try it from your mobile because only the web version of the platform allows this option.
