Are you bored of scrolling aimlessly through Netflix's recommended watch recommendations? Netflix categorizes its content into hyper-specific categories, but doesn't show them to users. A number of subscribers have compiled a list of codes that Netflix uses for categorizing its content. Users can search the code from their home screen to view the codes. Netflix Hidden Category allows you to skip this step and browse highly-specific categories such as "Scary Cult Movies From the 1990s" or "Showbiz Movies Based on Real Life".

You can either look up reviews yourself or use Trim, which displays IMDB ratings and Rotten Tomatoes ratings on content on Amazon Prime and Netflix. This extension also filters out low-rated movies and recommends "trim" content to ensure they don't appear on Netflix.
