Although Netflix tags content in multi-layered genres on the app you won’t be able to see all categories because there are so many categories you will be confused;
So Netflix only shows only selected broad categories. These subcategories we also call hidden or secret categories because usually, you don’t see them.
These categories help us to directly go to a specific genre page without being lost in the Netflix world.
How To Use Netflix Codes
A common category page URL looks like this
https://netflix.com/browse/genre/xxxxx
Where xxx is a numeric digit which you can take from below list of all the Netflix Codes.
