Finding Netflix titles by genre is easy when you know the secret category IDs! Just click on the category name to be linked that specific genre. Some call this a secret way to view more Netflix titles than are presented to you, but really it’s just a display of the company’s taxonomy, or way of organizing and categorizing content. In database terms, each category is assigned a unique number that has a friendly name associated with it. You can actually see the category number at the end of Netflix web addresses. For example in this URL https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/1365, the number 1365 represents the category Action & Adventure. If viewing Netflix on a browser, try putting in your own category IDs in the URL string after the text genre/ and see what pops up! Please bookmark and share this page with friends!
