How to access the secret back catalogue on Netflix and watch hidden series and films
The country you watch Netflix from restricts what it normally shows you, but there is an easy, legal way to see everything on their database
Sometimes when you’ve run out of series and films to watch, it seems like the same old things keep popping up on Netflix and there’s nothing new. But there is one thing you can do to game the system and see all the stuff Netflix doesn’t normally show you – and it’s totally legal!
Netflix has become the market leader of streaming platforms precisely because of its huge range of content. But it’s for this very reason that it also has to hide a large share of its titles, or there would just be too much on display. There is a page that contains all of Netflix’s titles, though, where you’ll find a huge variety of series and movies that don't usually appear on the homepage. You just have to know how to get there.
There are two reasons why we don’t normally have access to all these titles. The first is that the content the platform shows us is limited to the country where we’re accessing it from, and it will only show us the series and films consumed by the majority of users in that country. And secondly, Netflix always prioritises the titles based on our own viewing habits, and what its algorithm learns that we might like to watch.
In other words, the catalogue in the UK is not the same as in Spain, and the content presented to you is not exactly the same as what your next-door neighbour sees. And to access, to take an example, classic ‘Carry On’ films, which are not usually shown when accessing Netflix Spain, there are two options: either change the VPN (a programme that tells Netflix where in the world you are connecting from) to access Netflix UK; or access this hidden catalogue, where you can find not only content produced in the United Kingdom, but a whole range of series and movies produced anywhere in the world and at any time.
So how do you get there? It’s very simple. Anyone can access this list without having to install any additional software or having any special knowledge of computers. All it takes is a few clicks to open up a whole world of possibilities. Then you can finally find the perfect series to get hooked on.
First, you have to log in to Netflix in the web browser you normally use. Once you are logged in to your account, type this link into your search bar: https://netflix-category-lookup.netlify.app/ and then press ‘Enter’. This will take you to Netflix Category Lookup, which is a section of the official platform itself, and not some third-party site. In other words, it’s not cheating.
Once you are in to this page, you can find a really simple website that, while it doesn’t have the sleek, polished look of the Netflix homepage, will allow you to see the entire back catalogue of everything Netflix has in its vault. Without zero restrictions. The titles are divided into 21 different categories, which themselves are also divided into other subcategories. All you have to do is navigate through to the genres that interest you most, and start watching… the world really is your oyster!
