Lesson 13

As a member of the "cord cutter" generation, Netflix and Hulu are my cable substitutes of choice. One thing that has always been a head scratcher though, is how they calculate what to recommend after I finish watching a movie or TV series. Today that question was answered. It turns out they have a code for every genre a show could fall under and the recommend other shows in one of those genres. There are hundreds to choose from and they vary from vague to extremely detailed. Apparently each genre has a unique code that you can enter when you are searching for your next binge or movie of the moment.
Check out this article for a list of some of the most popular codes.  Until tomorrow...Crack the code!
