![]() “So I wanted a row where that could be highlighted.”ĭuring the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, rows like Human Connections (81271205) were created to try and help people feel better. One of the first rows curation strategist Mary McIlwain created was called Twisted Christmas (2300975): “I love feel-good Christmas movies, but at the same time, I’m on the ‘ Die Hard is a Christmas movie’ team,” she says. Around Halloween you might find something available like Small Town Scares (81496215), or romance rows will materialize near Valentine’s Day. The time of year and personal tastes come into play, too. ![]() As Michael Raphan, a curation strategist at Netflix, tells Tudum, a conversation with a colleague about the Noah Centineo-starring series The Recruit - a spy adventure with romantic subplots - prompted him to create a collection, fittingly, called Action with a Side of Romance (81647318). New codes are being added whenever inspiration strikes. A fan scraped the genre tree for all the codes, shared the list online, and people have been using those codes (along with the thousands more that have been added since) to this day. At the time, had a public-facing genre tree that linked out to all the various types of films and TV series, each of which has its own specific ID code. So if you’re in the mood for something as specific as, say, Gentle British Reality TV (with the code 81240711) or Witchcraft & the Dark Arts (81552046), or think all movies should be short ( 90-Minute Movies, aka 81466194), there’s a code and corresponding collection waiting for you.Īccording to Mary Bertone of Netflix’s Curation and Taxonomy team, these codes date back to the days when Netflix was still in its DVDs-only phase. To explore these collections - ordering off the secret menu, if you will - all you need to do is fire up your web browser, type in “/browse/genre/” and then add your ID code of choice to the end of the URL. Your Netflix queue is always stacked with movies and shows to hit play on, but what you might not know is that there’s a hidden way to make that viewing experience even better.Īmongst the films and TV series for your viewing pleasure, there’s a trove of secret category codes - a list that dates back to the earliest days of the company and already tops 36,000 (yes, really!) and is always growing, a treat for fans who either know exactly what they want to watch or want to try something entirely new.
