How To Use Netflix Codes On App
Netflix has thousands of movies and shows in its catalog, but scrolling is exhausting.
Sarah Tew/CNETNetflix hasso many TV shows, movies and documentaries. It can be difficult to find something to watch, because sifting through the seemingly endless list of content can easily take more time than actually watching something. If you don't already have something in mind to watch (like, say, one of our recommendations for the best Netflix movies or the best Netflix TV shows to stream), you're at the mercy of the algorithm. The streaming platform will highlight TV shows and movies you may like based on your profile and what you've watched before. It's a start, but it won't help you find Christmas movies quickly, or any other niche genres you might be interested in.
But there's a secret trick for filtering Netflix's library by genre to find exactly what you're browsing for: Netflix codes. These codes each correspond to a different genre, which the algorithm uses to categorize and serve up recommendations. Instead of passively accepting the algorithm's picks, learn how to use Netflix codes to find your own next binge-watch.

What are Netflix codes?
Netflix codes -- though not a new discovery -- are based on a number system the service uses to categorize films and shows by genre and subgenre. Note that codes can only be used on Netflix's website, not in its apps.
This is what you'll see when you visit the Netflix codes website.

3. Tap the code next to the genre or subgenre you want.
4. If you're on a device that has the Netflix app installed, the app should open and take you directly to the genre or subgenre you chose. If you don't have the app installed, it'll open Netflix through the browser and you can view the specific movies and shows available.
