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.
OK here is the scenario. I have tables like MOVIES, BOOKS, TV_SHOWS. All of these tables can have many genres and any genre can have many multiple files from any table. So the problem I'm faced with is this:
Should I make MOVIES GENRE, BOOKS GENRE, and TV_SHOWS GENRE tables, one for each table? Or is there some way to link all the tables to the single GENRE table in a many to many style relationship without sacrificing the uniqeness of the GenreID IN THE GENRE table?
Now I have gone through the other questions that touch on this and they all have a resounding NO. Apparently there is no database that can accommodate this style of many to (many)many relationship. But I am trying to find out if there is any alternative to this or should I just make multiple GENRE tables?
The only thing I can think that might work is to have a foreign GenreID column in each category table. And then have a many to many relationship with the GENRE table for each one of the category tables. All of the category tables will be linked using a join table called CATEGORY_GENRE that has composite primary key made from the foreign key GenreID columns from all the category tables and the GenreID primary key from the GENRE table. The only problem with this is that I don't think one side of a many to many relationship can be linked with a foreign key, both sides of the relationship have to be linked by their primary's.
This whole thing would be easier if the category tables were on the many side of a one to many relationship but unfortunately sometimes a movie or book has more than one genre like fantasy, Science fiction, etc.
You should consider using a polymorphic association, specifically a join table between your various "media" (books, tv_shows and movies) and your genres table. This media_genres join table needs to describe both the genre_id, the media_id, and additionally, the media_type (e.g. "book", "tv_show", "movie").
I am looking for an agent for my YA fantasy novel. While researching, I cross the names off my list of those agents who state that they are not looking for picture books. I do this because I also write smaller stories that would make great picture books. My question is: If and when I find an agent and he/she does not want to take on my other stories or does not believe in them as strongly as I do, do I find another agent for these works? Do authors usually have multiple agents?

Today everything around us is personalised and tailored to our wants and needs. It helps us choose decisions faster and conveniently. For example, Netflix makes different thumbnails to appeal to different genres for a single movie or series and shows the one which you are more likely to click. It has been illustrated beautifully in a piece by Sergio Cardenas (@ui.sergio), linked below.
But have you ever been on the other end of the spectrum, where personalisation makes it harder to make a selection? Many times I have scrolled through the entire catalogue for about an hour, eventually giving up and rewatching the same old titles or going to sleep.
This raises the question of how personalisation when taken to an extreme, is impeding the user experience when it should be enhancing it. This over personalisation is nowadays visible across almost all virtual platforms. From social media apps like Instagram or Facebook to e-commerce websites such as Amazon and Flipkart. The personalisation when done in moderation provides us with relevant results but also leaves us the opportunity to explore and come across new stuff should we desire.
If you have observed similar situations happening to you then you are not alone. These apps are designed to keep you occupied for as long as possible. Just a couple of weeks back on a Sunday, I spent close to 6 hours mindlessly scrolling through the never-ending feed of Instagram.
At the end of the day, there is no real incentive for the companies to make any credible changes to the current structure since it is more profitable for them. It is up to us to be wary of these dangers and enforce a bit of restraint towards using these apps. Try to put barricades up for yourself so that you don't fall into these traps. Use incognito for searching stuff online. Ordering via Guest accounts wherever required.
Have you ever wondered how Netflix recommends 1 of its 2,750 TV shows or 4,532 movies to you? Turns out the streaming service has sorted its movie and TV show catalogues into thousands of separate genres to help mix and match to your viewing tastebuds. The more titles you watch, the more specific the recommendations become.
Netflix doesn't publish a list of all those genres, so we've done the hard work and created the world's largest list of Netflix genres with over 27,000 genres. You can see the full list below, and you can filter it according to genre, description and decade. Click on the link for any genre to open it in Netflix, right in your browser. (For instance, "Biographical 20th Century Period Pieces About Fame" is genre 77456.)
