Note that these tips and tricks are so good that they should be considered for other streaming services that the reader subscribes to as a recommendation. Not all services are identical, but similar setups are likely to be found on Netflix’s competitors.

1. Explore hidden categories

Netflix has a wide variety of content to watch, the point is to find exactly what you are looking for and, above all, identify some options that are not so visible.

For that you can use the ‘secret codes’, which are certain numbers that when entered in the URL take the user to different subcategories within the platform.

To access this content, simply enter the following in the URL address: http://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/ and then add the code in question. By doing so, the page will redirect the user to the specific genre to be explored.

So, for example, if you write http://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/31574 you will see a list of classic movies.
