Unlock Hundreds of Steamy Movies and Hidden Categories on Netflix with These Secret Codes

More fuel for your Netflix binges.

Finding the perfect show or movie to watch on Netflix can sometimes be a soul-crushing chore that ultimately leads to accepting defeat and watching the same “recommended” things over and over again… but it doesn’t have to be that way. 

To make your binges a whole lot easier, I’m going to let you in on a little secret: If you plug in a secret code in the URL, you can hack Netflix and unlock a huge number of super specific genres, like “Deep Sea Horror Movies” and “Steamy Romantic Movies.”

Speaking of steamy movies, did you know that Netflix also has a secret “steamy” genre where you can watch all sorts of saucy stuff and get your jollies? You can find all 61 “steamy” micro-genres right here.

Anyway, back to the real topic. To hack Netflix and bypass the algorithm that controls your recommended content, here’s what you do:

Step 1) Enter the URL: http://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/INSERTNUMBER

Step 2) Swap “INSERTNUMBER” in the URL with the code of the genre you want, which are all listed below.
