Man searches 10118 code on Netflix to show fans what they're missing out on

When logging into Netflix it can be hard enough to figure out what you want to watch without having to navigate through a seemingly endless menu offering up thousands of shows and movies.

Plenty of times you'll go back to something comfortable you've watched before to avoid spending 20 minutes scrolling through category after category.

Fortunately, if you have a decent idea of what type of movie or show you're looking for then Netflix has a few shortcuts to show you options you're looking for quicker.

For example, if you want to see what superhero movies Netflix has on its considerable roster then you could search the numbers 10118 and it'd show you the category you want.

Full list of codes below

YouTuber SetupSpawn showed how it worked, typing the five simple numbers into the streaming service's search bar and it immediately served him up a selection of exactly what he wanted.

Another code you might be interested in knowing is the one for their crime documentaries and biopics.

If you're looking for your next true crime fix just put '9875' into the search bar and you'll find what you're looking for.
