How to easily find all the Netflix movies in a secret category like 'military dramas'
Netflix has a bunch of subgenres that make it easy to find movies and shows in specific niches like "monster movies" or "military dramas."
Each one is tagged with a code number (for example, "Epics" is category No. 52858).
And while some of these categories are accessible through Netflix's "subgenres" bars, many are not. "Dramas," in particular, has no subgenres that show up. Here's how that section appears on my Netflix:

So if you are looking for the aforementioned "military dramas," what are you to do?

For a slight variation on that, head to Netflixcodes.me, which lists the subgenres purely alphabetically and has a search bar at the top. This is perfect if you know which subgenre you want. Here is what it looks like:
