Netflix uses an algorithm which customises each subscriber’s homepage experience by collecting data about the user’s interests and their viewing history.
This means only a minority of Netflix’s collection is available to view without the special codes.
Users can find general categories like Reality TV (9833), Action Sci-Fi and Fantasy (1568) or Late Night Comedies (1402).
The codes can be used to discover even more obscure genres from BMX & Extreme Riding (4582) to Romantic Foreign Movies (7153).
