Are you using Netflix wrong? Check out these secret codes that unlock the full catalog

Are you tired of endlessly scrolling through the same titles on Netflix? You’re in luck! There are plenty of online resources to help you break free from algorithmic determinism and discover a wider catalog of movies and shows.

If you prefer to stay on the streaming service, you can find catalogs for TV shows and movies at the top of the screen, which allows users to search by genre. However, the algorithm will still organize the offerings based on what it understands to be your taste in movies.

Resources to help you break free of the Netflix algorithm

Websites like Netflix-Codes have identified number sequences for different categories and genres. You can find the code you want to plug in and see all the offerings under that category by adding it to the end of this web address: https://netflix.com/browse/genre/[add code here]. Love Westerns? Try code 7700. What about Disney movies? Try code 67673. Is there a code for Classic TV shows? Sure is, 46553.

What’s on Netflix? is another great resource and provides additional codes for television shows by network or producer. For example, fans of shows produced by Shonda Rhimes, which include Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal, can find her entire catalog by using the code 81349039.

Do you have a VPN?

A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, is another way to get the most out of your Netflix subscription. Because streaming rights vary by geography, as shows and movies are distributed by different organizations, a VPN can give you the ability to unlock Netflix in different countries, which might have series and movies that aren’t available in the United States. NORD VPN, one of the most popular options in the US, promotes the ability of users to browse Netflix in different countries as a perk of membership. However, the Netflix Help Center does make clear that users with an ad-supported plan will not be able to stream on the platform while their VPN is active. Additionally, all users will not be able to stream live events while using a VPN.
