Netflix has so many TV shows, movies and documentaries. You name it and it’s probably in the streaming service’s massive library. Not to mention Netflix’s growing list of binge-worthy original shows like Bridgerton, Stranger Things, The Crown, Shadow and Bone, and Mindhunter. With a seemingly endless list of content to choose from, you can easily spend more time scrolling through recommendations than actually watching something.
Netflix uses algorithms to help subscribers sift through their options by highlighting TV shows and movies you may like based on your profile and what you’ve watched before.

Depending on what you’ve watched, Netflix’s recommendation algorithm might’ve buried the perfect movie or show. If so, Netflix codes can help you filter through the onslaught of content to find more interesting recommendations than the usual fare.
