How to Unlock Netflix’s Hidden Categories, Movies & TV Shows
Netflix does its best to curate movies and tv shows according to your taste and favourite Netflix Genres. This means that Netflixs presents only some of the content that the service offers, typically not all of it. When selecting a category, such as horror or comedy, Netflix will further filter what you see. Its’ smart content recommendation algorithms select shows and movies that will most probably suit you, but hide some content, unless you search for it explicitly. With our trick, you can directly access many subcategories that are hidden by default. Here’s how to view and unlock hidden categories for Netflix movies & TV shows.
