The trouble with streaming is that oftentimes, it’s impossible to decide exactly what you want to watch. You could be itching to put anything on after a full day on the tools, either for active consumption or for background noise. But the moment your eyes see that home page… boom! Infinite options. Analysis paralysis. Plus let’s be honest: that Play Something Function is no damn help. That’s where the Netflix codes come in handy.
With numbers designated to specific genre / subgenre pages, far more specific than your basic categories, this is how you’ll “unlock” the content buried under all that filler and heavily-marketed BS. Hopefully, it’ll help you navigate Netflix’s extensive library with greater ease. And if by chance you still have trouble picking something to kill the hours, be sure to check out the links below.
Anyway, here’s everything you need to know about the Netflix codes.
