Ever find yourself spending what seems like eons looking for the perfect Netflix movie or TV series to binge on next? That’s certainly understandable considering the company’s huge catalog of content that gets refreshed on a regular basis. But what if there were a way to only search for certain types of films and shows and ignore Netflix’s algorithm that’s ready to suggest what to watch next?

DON'T MISS: This is the Netflix hack the world has been waiting for

Fortunately, there are tricks to help put with that including using multiple profiles to watch Netflix, one for each different mood you might be in. And now there’s an even better way to find certain content categories that might otherwise stay hidden from view.

It turns out that Netflix engineers use secret codes to designate even more content categories than users have access to by default. As a result, you can further narrow down the kind of content you want to watch if you know about these special codes.
