At this stage in the game, you'd think that we would know all there is to know about Netflix - but it seems that there's still a few skeletons in the streaming giant's closet.
Millions of people use the platform on a daily basis, so a lot of subscribers have now learned all of the tips and tricks which can make your viewing experience a lot more pleasurable.
However, it turns out that tons of film lovers were completely unaware that there is a secret shortcut to finding the perfect thing to watch.

You've probably wasted a big chunk of your life browsing the endless options before settling on something bingeworthy, but at least you can make the process a lot more efficient from here on out.
So, here's to no longer squandering hours and hours sat sifting through Netflix's endless catalogue of TV shows and movies before finally making your choice.
Cheers to that, lads.
YouTuber Matty McTech, better known online as SetupSpawn, previously put people out of their misery by sharing a video explaining it all.
Take a look at this:
The content creator kindly took one for the team and demonstrated what happened when he searched the code 10118 on Netflix.
After simply typing the five numbers into the search bar, all of the superhero movies that the streaming service has to offer suddenly appeared.

Easy, right?
Talking his subscribers through the tech trick, Matty said: "Did you know that if you go to this website, netflix-codes.com, you can find a list of Netflix secret categories?
"Just watch...search for the code on Netflix and it will display all the shows and movies related to that code."
There's a host of other codes too - such as 45028 for ‘Deep Sea Horror Movies’, or 1192582 for ‘Bingeworthy British Crime Dramas’ - so everyone can make use of it.

Explaining why knowing the numbers comes in handy for Netflix users, the website explained that they wanted to come up with the 'solution' for people who are sick of the 'really strange system' the streaming service uses to categorise its content.
We can't list all of the codes, as we'd be here all day, however, we have got a list of popular ones that might come in handy for you.
Have a look here - and happy watching!
