These are the secret Netflix codes which can unlock hidden show categories

WITH more shows than you can shake a stick at, it can sometimes be hard to choose what you really want to watch on Netflix.

You may be looking for something very specific - or you may have no idea what it is you fancy binge watching.

That's why the streaming giant offers a handy selection of categories which group shows and films together by their genres or themes.

For example, you can sort by "Featuring a Strong Female Lead", "Horror", "British Comedy" and many more.

But Netflix also features thousands upon thousands of hidden categories, which don't come up like these base groupings do.

And now, viewers have worked out how they can get to these secret themed groups, which offer some seriously specific ways to browse.

You can access these categories using Netflix "codes", which you plug into the web address to access.

Each code refers to a specific category, many of which are far more niche than the basic categories anyone can see on the main Netflix homepage.
