Netflix recommends movies and series individually to subscribers. If you want to bypass the algorithm and see hidden shows, you need so-called Netflix codes
platforms like Netflix You have a huge show. It’s hard to keep an overview – especially because movies and series are suggested to subscribers using algorithms that have to match their individual viewing habits. But often, Netflix suggests inappropriate movies and series that you don’t want to see at all. What many users don’t know: the streaming provider has a lot more in their software than is suggested to viewers. You just have to know how to get an overview. The solution is the so-called “Netflix codes”. What sounds like sophisticated hacking is actually quite simple – and perfectly legal at that. The codes are not a violation of the Netflix Terms of Service.

You can’t access the full Netflix program – unless you know the correct codes for it.

It should be noted, however, that some categories are only offered in certain countries and the corresponding titles are not available in the German offering.
