Tried searching the Walking Dead on my Apple TV and the only result options were to buy on Apple or AMC. However, there are 9 seasons available on Netflix. Why does the search in Appletv not give Netflix results anymore in the USA?
Just to add a "me too". This worked up until a few days ago and then suddenly stopped working. Search does not find anything from Netflix, whether it's searched via Siri, the search app, or otherwise. Netflix shows already in the "Watch Now" list lost their "Netflix" tag and when selecting them, the Apple TV no longer shows Netflix as an option for watching them. Searching _within_ the Netflix app works as before.
Netflix noticed that people were filling their queues with aspirational choices, independent films and documentaries, but rarely letting them get to the top of the list. When it was time to check out, it was Notting Hill and The Matrix every time.
Customers visited the Netflix website more often and watched more movies. Netflix never looked back. Eighty percent of what people watch on Netflix comes from what Netflix recommends, not from what people search for.
The business model for Netflix is built on keeping you watching for as long as possible. The numbers are inexorable: Netflix has a 90-second window to help you find a movie or a TV show before you leave the platform and visit some other service. The recommendations are crucial.
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.
To find out which titles are available for educational screenings, visit media.netflix.com and search for the title or browse our recent and upcoming releases. Below, there is an incomplete list of documentaries that are covered by this educational screenings permission. Titles that are available for educational screening will display the following grant of permission on their details page:
Consequently, we will permit one-time educational screenings - "one-time screening" means that you can't hold screenings several times in one day or one week, but if, for example, you're an educator who wants to show the titles once a semester over multiple semesters, that's okay.
The following titles are currently available for a one-time educational screening. Title availability is subject to change per Netflix. You must have a personal Netflix account in order to show these titles. Always double check the details page for each title, before showing in the classroom, to ensure that the Grant of Permission is still applicable.
The vast amount of content on Netflix can get pretty unwieldy. Luckily, there's a secret, better way to browse the swaths of mediocre titles on the streaming service to get to what you're really looking for.
Netflix has a huge list of hidden categories that go far beyond the usual Action, Drama, Sci-Fi, and the like. First discovered by the blog What's On Netflix, anyone can access them by simply typing specific URLs into a browser. Each URL has the format:
Some of these categories don't even come up in a Netflix search. While searching "Korean TV Shows" brings up the same list that appears at the category URL, searching "Classic War Movies" brings up a grab-bag of results, only some of which fit the bill. Some categories appear to be only used for suggestion purposes.
Wow, a weekend kicked off with Scandinavian Movies, followed by a 12-hour rotation of Classic Musicals and B-Horror Movies and finished off with Satanic Stories to lull you to sleep? Live that Netflix dream.

We want all of your favorite video streaming services to be included as a part of Binge On. If your go-to video streaming service isn't part of the program yet, tweet us your favorite service @TMobile, along with the hashtag #BingeOn. If they meet our requirements, we'll investigate the feasibility of adding them. No one pays to join and no money is exchanged.
If you are a streaming service provider click here, send us an email and we'll get back to you to begin the process. See FAQs below for more information about technical criteria.
T-Mobile will review all submissions to ensure identification of video stream and technical requirements, including optimization for mobile viewing.
T-Mobile is committed to maximizing YOUR choice and providing access to as many great providers as possible.
Binge On optimizes video quality for smartphone screens. As a result, it provides a great DVD-quality experience (typically 480p or better) for all detectable video while using a fraction of the data, unless a provider chooses to opt-out of the program. To date, no providers have opted out of Binge On. If you have Binge On and want to disable it, we will no longer optimize video for viewing on a mobile device. Your videos may stream at a higher resolution (e.g., HD); however, you will no longer have the ability to stream for free from participating streaming services or have video optimized for your smartphone screen, resulting in faster usage of your high-speed data. You can always change your mind and enable Binge On any time to start enjoying the benefits again.
Binge On is automatically enabled so your data will stretch up to three times further when you are streaming video, unless a provider chooses to opt out. If you disable Binge On, video streaming will no longer be optimized and video resolution will default to the highest available based on the streaming service (e.g., HD). This will also result in your 4G LTE data being consumed faster, and all video streaming will count toward your high-speed data. Of course, you are free to disable Binge On at any time, and then enable it again whenever you like.
Absolutely nothing. Every Simple Choice customer can watch up to three times more video with their data plan with Binge On enabled. If you have 3GB of data or more, stream from your favorite steaming services like YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, HBO, Sling, ESPN, SHOWTIME, Starz, and more for free, without using your 4G LTE data. The more data you have, the more benefits you get.
