We've all been there, you're browsing through Netflix trying to find a new show or movie to watch and then 20 minutes later, you're back to watching that episode of The Office that you've seen better than 20 times. With the use of television and streaming sites such as Netflix, Hulu and HBO Go, we can now watch our favorite shows or movies anytime we want. Something that not a whole lot of people realize is that while watching your favorite show, you're learning about who you want to become.
The only reason I ever bought Netflix was to watch House of Cards with Kevin Spacey as Frank Underwood. After binging the first two season in a weekend, I saw so much in Frank Underwood and wanted to become just like him. Okay, I didn't want to become corrupt and become a killer, but I saw leadership traits in the man that appealed to me. He is a leader who has the ability to have people follow him and he can command those around him. Frank Underwood is a man who leads and is followed by many. Throughout the four seasons, he has been able to turn people into his allies and utilize their strengths, something not all leaders are able to do. It was after seeing Frank Underwood that I wanted to find more characters like him to analyze.
I am addicted to shows such as The Office and Entourage because of the characters and what they stand for. Michael Scott is a great example of how a leader can utilize comedy to create a fun work space for people. By utilizing comedy, he was able to create a bond with his employees that allows him to create a family like atmosphere in the work place. In Entourage, my favorite character is Ari Gold. Ari gold says whatever is on his mind, does whatever he wants and somehow is one of the most successful people in L.A. (I know he is a fictional character, but he is one of the most successful people in L.A. in the show) and he can get whatever he wants. A leader needs to be willing to be the person to take that first step and Ari Gold portrays this perfectly! One of my greatest Netflix finds was the movie 'Jobs' featuring Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs. It was because of this movie that I grew to love Steve Jobs for his innovative and creative mind. Steve Jobs was able to use his creativity to allow people to buy into his system and his company. He set a vision for Apple and their employees shared this vision of his.
So do I want to become Frank Underwood, Michael Scott, Ari Gold or Steve Jobs? The answer is no, but I want to develop traits that each individual has. These are all characters that I can watch daily, but I can also learn so much from. Go and find the TV or movie character you want to learn from. Look at how they lead, how they act around others, what their strengths and weaknesses are. Who knows, a day of laying on the couch and watching Netflix might just help you become the next CEO of a Fortune 500 company, it might help you become a Forbes 30 under 30 winner or it could just help you become the next President. And to think, it all could have started from watching some TV
You can put the secret Netflix menu to work to get full control over what kind of content you devour. It's all dependent on a code-based system. Different numeric codes on the service let you browse and select from thousands of niche genres and subcategories, whether you're into horror or rom-coms.
Typically, you're constrained to the genres available to you via the main Netflix menu. There's no way to choose by specific category other than what's been chosen for you when you log on. Using these codes opens up an entire library of options for you to choose from that can help you better settle on what to watch for the night. It can even help you discover new shows and movies you've never heard of.
Adding these codes to the ends of Netflix URLs lets you directly access collections of movies and TV shows that fall under your chosen category. For example, if you're short on time and want to queue up a shorter movie, you could check the 90-Minute Movies category with the code 81466194. Looking for something for your entire brood to enjoy? The "Family Movie Night" collection, accessed with code 2013975, is chock-full of favorites even Grandma can get into.
There are well over 36,000 codes to choose from, so don't worry about memorizing them or trying random sequences. Resources like Netflix-Codes.com have an entire directory to sift through, so you can search for what you'd like to watch there and find corresponding codes in no time.
Netflix-Codes.com has a comprehensive list of the streaming platform's hidden genre categories and subcategories. In total, there are around 20 top-level categories covering genres like animation, foreign films and classic movies. Within those main genres are many more hyper-specific subgenres denoted by numeric codes.
The entirety of the categories available on Netflix starts with broad main genres like Action, Comedy and Drama, but they get more specific as you dive even deeper. There are straight-to-the-point collections like Movies Directed by Women (code 2974953), or more specifically targeted curated lists, like Supernatural Soaps (code 81238162), just in case you like your werewolves with a side of angst and romance.
Are you a huge Swiftie? Is there another celebrity you want to learn more about? The Pop Culture Icons category (code 81278963) includes picks like the Taylor Swift-centric documentary Miss Americana or the Whitney Houston biopic I Wanna Dance with Somebody.
Maybe you've been told time and time again that you should really get into Korean TV and don't know where to start. Hit up the K-Dramas for Beginners menu (code 2953105) for a selection of hit K-Drama series like Squid Game and Boys Over Flowers.
Rather than relying solely on the standard homepage categories or Netflix's algorithm, you can use these secret codes to pinpoint and explore different nooks and crannies of the catalog to find hidden gems.
If you're not comfortable with editing Netflix URLs, you can use a browser extension to access the secret menus. The Better Browse for Netflix extension for Chrome is a great choice. Here's how to use it:
If the extension is installed, you'll see a Browse All option at the top of your Netflix home screen next to My List. Click it to scroll through the subgenres or to search through specific categories.
Alternatively, you can use the FindFlix: Netflix Secret Category Finder browser extension for Chrome or Firefox. This add-on will create a drop-down menu complete with Netflix categories for your browser that you can scroll through by clicking on the FF icon that will appear on the top right of your screen. There's no need to scroll Netflix natively with this add-on, and it features 7,500 categories alphabetized for your convenience.
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.
