How to find Netflix 'secret menu' with thousands of shows you were unaware of

If you're a user of the streaming giant Netflix you will be delighted to know there is a 'secret menu' allowing you to access thousands more shows you may have been unaware of.

It can be daunting trying to find something to watch at times, but with a little 'hack' involving the input of a few digits, discovering your next binge could prove a whole lot easier.

These codes correspond to fairly precise genres, such as 'movies based on children's books’ or 'sporting comedies', according to the Liverpool Echo. Entering such codes (as shown below) will find the relevant genre with all the films or TV shows available grouped together.

It's simple - just visit each genre’s webpage by typing or copy and pasting this link into your browser. Then follow this by any of the codes from the huge list below.

For example if you wanted to see what Netflix offers in the way of Animal Takes – type in https://www.netflix.com/gb/browse/genre/5507

At present the trick only applies to Netflix's web site and not on phone or tablet. However, if you use the streaming platform on a TV, you can simply type the code in the 'search' bar.

And now - prepare for the list!
