NETFLIX CATEGORIES

BINGEING ON THE HIDDEN BEAST

-

Free | tinyurl.com/tla62-netflix Despite its ever-growing catalogue of great shows and movies, Netflix has some categories hidden away, making searching for something in particular a tad painstakin­g. But Netflix Categories, a useful Chrome plugin, removes the hassle of having to browse through all the categories on the popular streaming service.

This browser extension has a basic search feature that brings up over 200 Netflix categories and subcategor­ies. So instead of seeing just broad classifica­tions like ‘Drama’ and ‘Action and Adventure’, you’ll be presented with options like ‘Sci-fi thriller’, ‘Crime thriller’, ‘Crime dramas’, ‘Courtroom dramas’, and so on.

You also don’t need to have Netflix open on your browser to be able to see the hidden categories. Clicking on the extension’s icon on the menu bar brings up the list and you can click on any or all of them to bookmark the ones you like on any tab you’re on.

And the list won’t stop at 200 categories. Developer Deekshith Allamaneni has promised to add more in the near future.
