Instructions to find hidden movie categories of the same genre on Netflix

Netflix’s main menu is personalized from an algorithm that records previously watched movie genres, then the application will automatically suggest that genre to the user. If you watch an action movie, next time a series of action movies will show up on the Main Menu.

Netflix will often classify movies and documentaries into thousands of different categories and genres, based on the content of the movie and recommend it to viewers better, matching their preferences.

However, it only shows some categories for you to choose from, the rest are hidden. And how do you find other genres you want to watch when those categories don’t appear?

There are two ways to access hidden categories on Netflix.

Method 1, if you use a computer, open a web browser, then enter the URL: https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/… in the search bar and replace the “…” equal code based on the genre you want to watch, finally press Enter.
