You often get lost in the wonderful offer of the Netflix catalog. It must be said that with its thousands of movies, series, documentaries or even anime, it is enough to get dizzy before taking out the rare pearl, after hours of reviewing the lists that appear on the Home page (Only on Netflix, Resume). , Current trends, My list, Our picks for you, Top 10…).
And yet, there’s a trick since the video streaming service’s launch that makes it much easier to find what you’re looking for by going straight to sort by category. If you fancy more of a comedy or want to scare yourself with a good thriller, you don’t have to check everything. All you need is the correct code.
The codes according to the categories
It is rumored that Netflix has listed all its content according to more than 27,000 categories and therefore different codes (not all are accessible in all regions). It must be said that the classification is made both by genre and by director or actor, era, target audience or even prize obtained. These are the same categories that allow Netflix to better target you, aided by its algorithm, and thus shape your home page to attract you to content that should meet your affinities.
It is not possible to reference all codes, but here are the main ones that may be useful.
