Quarantine and binge: Use these 2020 Netflix codes to improve your life
Ever since quarantine, Netflix has been a trusty friend. It’s one of the best go-to spots to find a release from our burdensome realities. With such a vast collection of classics, originals, & new releases Netflix always has our attention.

It’s easy to take so long deciding on a show or movie to settle on that you eventually give up. Lucky for you, we have some nifty tricks that will speed up your process.
For ease of mind during your search you can narrow your results before you even open Netflix. Just enter the URL www.netflix.com/browse/genre/XXXX in the address bar of your browser, and replace the X with the code of whichever genre listed below suits your fancy. Easy-peasy. Here are your options:
