Netflix: Learn the secret codes to watch hidden movies and series

The platform of Netflix completely changed the world of cinema and television. Today, he has been crowned king of internet television, not only for offering his customers a wide catalog of cult films and series, but also for creating his own content, which has earned him awards such as the Golden Globes and the Oscar.

Netflix It marked a milestone in history when it launched its streaming service in 2007. Since then, the company has continued to grow, evolving from a DVD distribution service to a Internet television network.

 Netflix and its secret catalog

Usually, when we navigate the platform using the categories that appear in the app's tab. However, Netflix has a catalog of hidden movies and series. The reason is not known for sure, but it is assumed to be to avoid making the list too long and because they are the least commercially viable genres.

Accessing them is very easy:

First, log in to your Netflix profile using your usual browser.

Then, when you're on the main Netflix desktop, click, for example, on "Series" if that's what you want to watch.

Also, you will see the following web address appear in the browser's address bar. https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/83

Now click on the bar and replace the number “83” with the genre code of the series you want to watch. We'll provide the list below.

If you go to "Movies", the address that will appear will be https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/34399. And likewise, you must replace the numbers at the end of the link to access the hidden category.
