Viewed everything on Netflix? Chances are that you haven’t. These secret codes will unlock movies and shows that you have never seen before.

Have you watched every TV show or movie Netflix has to offer?

If you answered yes, you’d be wrong as there is a collection of movies and TV shows on Netflix that you haven’t seen because you don’t have the thousands of secret codes required to unlock them.

We’re not just talking about the same old genres you might see on a streaming platform like ‘romance’, ‘action’ and ‘comedy’ either.
