You've probably heard that Netflix has secret categories rounding up some of the best niches in movies and TV, but do you actually know how to use them?
The streamer recently released a bunch of codes from its "secret menu" online, and many of the categories are way better than what you'll find while endlessly scrolling through the app.
Netflix says the secret lists go back to the earliest days of the company, when it was still sending people DVDs by mail. The company's internal codes leaked online and it's embraced the model ever since, with staff often adding new lists and updating old ones.
To use the feature, all you have to do is type "netflix.com/browse/genre/CODE" into your browser, and you'll go straight to the secret list for that category.
The categories are super honest and focused on the vibe you're looking for, with titles like "90-Minute Movies," "Spicy Romance," "Small-Town Charm" and "Take A Trip Around The World."
Here are some of the coolest secret categories on Netflix to suit any mood.
