Questions
How do I use a Netflix code?
Sign in to Netflix in a browser on your computer, then go to netflix.com/browse/genre/ followed by the code. The page shows everything in that category that Netflix offers in your country.
Do the codes work in the Netflix app?
No. A code is part of a web address, so it works in a browser on a computer. The Netflix apps for phones and TVs have no way to open one.
Why is a category nearly empty?
Each category only shows what Netflix offers in your country right now. The same code can be full in one country and short in another.
Are these all the Netflix codes?
No. Netflix has thousands of numbered categories, and many of them hold only a handful of titles. These 184 are the ones Sorted opens with Shift G, grouped so you can find what you want quickly.
