Thanks to streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+ and Now TV, we have been spoiled for choice when it comes to TV series and films to watch in recent years.
Netflix remains the most popular in the UK providing a hub of our favourite TV and films, with new original shows and movies being released constantly.
But with so much content on the streaming platform, it can often be a struggle to choose something new to watch.
Sometimes we get paralysed with all our options, but one person on the internet has shared a simple tip that could save you some time when picking a film or show.
How to find 'secret' shows on Netflix
A Reddit user has shared a guide to secret codes that will allow you to quickly narrow down your Netflix search.
You can find the fill list on Reddit and has been upvoted more than 140 times and has over 1.3k comments.
All you have to do is work out what genre of show you'd like to watch.
When entering the Netflix URL into the web browser, select the code from the list below and add it into the URL, for example, www.netflix.com/browse/genre/xxx which will lead you to a host of movies or TV shows only in that certain genre.
The codes can lead to come very niche areas, for example, instead of browsing Action films, you can narrow it down to just comic books and superhero films (10118) or just martial arts films (8985).
Or if you're only interested in watching a miniseries you can type in 4814 and for classic TV shows, you can type in 46553 to get a range to choose from.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
