Netflix viewers say life has changed for the better after typing in '9875'

Netflix viewers say life has changed for the better after typing in '9875'

It's a simple hack that's 'changing lives'

True crime lovers have said that discovering a simple Netflix has been ‘life changing’.

If you’re anything like me, then scrolling through the streaming platform can often take longer than it would to watch a film - but a simple hack makes things a lot easier for true crime fans. Check it out here:

Clever eh?

You may or may not know that Netflix actually has a bunch of secret codes that will pull together certain types of content that is similar - for example, true crime documentaries - creating a much smaller and more manageable list for you to work through.

In a clip shared on TikTok revealing the hack, TikTok user @taylorkreiling explains: "Type 9875 into Netflix search bar for all true crime documentaries.”

What an absolute revelation - I just wish I’d known this sooner.

All Netflix’s true crime favourites, such as Capturing the Killer Nurse, will show up once you use the code.

The handy little code means you'll basically be left with a true crime playlist, including everything from Making A Murderer and Abducted in Plain Sight, to more recent documentaries such as Catching the Killer Nurse and Killer Sally.

On Twitter, other people have been sharing the code online, with one posting: “PSA if you type in ‘9875’ on Netflix it brings up all the true crime documentaries. I saw that on TikTok and it was life changing.”

Another wrote: “I didn’t know typing 9875 in the Netflix search bar would simplify my life.”

A third tweeted: “I was today years old when I learned that if you type in ‘9875’ into the Netflix search bar all the murder documentaries come up. You're welcome.”

While someone else said: “Discovering code 9875 on Netflix was the best thing ever.”

And you might be pleased to know that the codes don’t end there - here’s a full (and very exhaustive) list:
