Netflix is dropping new TV series and movies every month and the question of 'what should I watch this evening?' becomes harder to answer.
You give that new TV series a chance because your work colleague recommended to you, but 20 minutes in, it's not as good as it's hyped up to be. So you settle to rewatch a familiar choice - at least you know you won't be disappointed.
Well, Netflix just made life a whole lot easier with a four-digit code, and viewers are saying its changed their 'lives for the better.'

This is for all you crime drama fanatics! Typing in '9875' into your Netflix search bar brings up all its True Crime Documentaries.

Netflix fans are expressing their gratitude on platforms like Reddit and TikTok saying: 'Best life hack ever! Game changer!' and 'You are the hero I needed today!'

Whilst another said: 'Thank you! I'd gone through them all. Can't wait to find the hidden gems!'
Some viewers have reported a little inconsistency in the search results however. One Netflix viewer saw Peppa Pig appear after typing in the code, whilst another got Shrek Forever After. Hope there's no hidden meaning there!
Recently, Netflix released their 'secret' codes to find their hidden selection of Christmas movies and series. With over 20 codes, Netflix viewers can easily find anything from Feel-Good Christmas Films to Festive Family Fun.
