The trick to see dozens of hidden movies and series on Netflix

Netflix doesn’t always give us what we want

The Netflix algorithm is one of the most sophisticated developments in the world. It is programmed to identify your tastes and offer you exactly what you are looking for. But it’s not perfect.

Anyway, yes, we know; there is the category of action, but everything seems very general and immediately they take you to other pastures. But it turns out that Netflix does have an exhaustive rating of every series, movie, and documentary it has. We are referring to the hundreds (thousands) of very specific hidden categories that we are going to learn how to access.

All in all, Netflix is ​​usually browsed using the categories that the app offers its users, but the sea of ​​movies and series that it has are not taken full advantage of due to the user’s preferences that limit the exploration. For this we have what are known as secret codes to watch thousands of series and movies that you did not know were available, but they are.

Use the secret codes

It’s no surprise that Netflix has hidden categories on your platform. However, you may not know that we can access them by entering a series of codes in the service’s own search engine. The list is extremely extensive, and of course it may help us find more easily what you probably didn’t know you could see.

We are talking, in this case, that each genre and subgenre, for example Action subgenre classics, has its own search code to facilitate the search. To use them, you must enter the Netflix address changing the final code in the URL that classifies each menu or groups by similar content. Yes indeed; this as long as we access by computer or mobile without using the app.

In this way, for example, you can find series like Welcome to Waikiki, a fun series that you can only watch if you have Netflix in English. The same goes for movies like RRR, an Indian action film that has taken its country of origin by storm. The most curious? Which is available on Netflix, even if you don’t know it.

How to do it

And it is that, the platform is based on an algorithm that records the searches you make of all the available content and with this, they know your interests. Even the days of the week on which you consume the most products from the platform or the hours spent deciding and viewing content are recorded.

It is due to this algorithm that we only have access to part of the platform and not all of it, but that can be changed. At the same time, it is worth mentioning that the categories and the site appear in English. However, when one is selected, another tab automatically opens with the options available in Spanish.

Although it is an option that has nothing new, it can serve those who are tired of Netflix always recommending the same thing, even choosing the random option.

• Sign in to your Netflix account.
• Go to the search engine and enter.
• You can enter directly from this link.
• You will have at your disposal all the categories and subcategories that the platform has.
• To avoid having to access continuously, you can teach the algorithm what you like, adding some titles to your favorites list so that it identifies that content you like and shows you more suggestions.
