Anyone who frequents Netflix will know that it somehow can feel both overwhelmingly big and frustratingly small.
There will be those days where your hangover headache is exacerbated by the endless scroll trying to find something semi-decent to put on; there will also be those days when it feels inevitable that you’ll watch Bridgerton or Tiger bloody King or whatever literally every other Netflix user is watching.
Over at Pedestrian.TV though, they discovered a thing of beauty: a dodgy but helpful website called Netflix Streaming by Alternate Genres.
And prepare yourself, because their collection of Netflix codes is seriously massive. There’s hundreds of different options for whatever the mind can imagine. Whoever’s behind the website is a true modern-day Good Samaritan.
It goes really niche too. Maybe you’re trying to impress a date and want to find an important social issues drama? There’s a code for that. Maybe you want to get into foreign cinema but not the usual suspects like French or Italian? Try the code for Belgian Movies or New Zealand Movies instead.
So no longer be constrained by the Netflix homepage and head for that search bar. We’ve compiled a few of the most interesting genre codes below but do explore the entire website collection when you have a spare few hours and get noting your favourites.
