This is an info-post on a quick way to find all the Disability-related stuff on Netflix, which is is related to the hidden codes that Netflix uses for categories
Netflix Category Codes
Many Netflix categories – or genres – are displayed on the main screen, “what to watch next.” But what a lot of people don’t know is that those categories are only a tiny fraction of what Netflix really has behind the walls. The way to tap into those other genres is through the category codes.
The category codes cover all the categories that Netflix has. From Indian movies to Mockumentaries, it’s all coded. I was psyched to find that there is also a disability category code on Netflix!
The disability category code is 81594474. The way it looks in a link is:
https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/81594474
You just need to click that link and it will take you to the Disability Category.
That’s it.
For more category codes, just put the genre NUMBER after the backslash (so, www.netflix.com/browse/genre/THE NUMBER YOU WANT
I should also note that this might not work for everyone, depending on your IP address and the country that you are in. Not all movies are available everywhere. But it’s worth a try!
