Netflix viewers say typing '9875' stopped them scrolling for hours trying to find something to watch

Have you been struggling to find something worthwhile on Netflix this week? If so, there’s a hack you need to try which will make everything easier.

We know the popular streaming platform can be a pain to navigate as there’s so much to choose from, but there’s one thing you can do to help yourself out the next time you want to binge a new series.

Recently, Netflix viewers have claimed their lives have been 'changed for the better', after typing in '9875', instead of browsing through their show options.

It sounds weird, but it bloody works.

It’s only by the grace of some generous social media users, that this trick was shared to us mere mortals.

By typing those numbers in the search bar, it will unlock a trove of specific shows dedicated to that certain genre - in this case, crime.

If you're a fan of the gory stuff, type '9875' into the platform's search box and huge list of Netflix's crime documentaries and biopics suddenly appear.

One viewer who figured it out raved online: "It works. Best way to find True crime on Netflix."

Another said: "I didn't think this would work this is really cool thank you."

But some face an issue with it.

"Peppa Pig also came up," one user wrote, while someone else also added: "I did it and Shrek Forever After came up."

But for those who’d prefer something not so murder-y, there’s a list for you to try tonight:
