Is there anyone who doesn’t love Netflix? The on-demand TV and movie service has brought us Netflix-original gems like Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Orange Is The New Black, it gave us the phrase “Netflix and chill” and it’s provided us endless options of things to binge watch.
At least 75 million people worldwide are Netflix subscribers, but are they really getting the most out of the service? There’s a wide variety of tips and tricks out there to make your Netflix experience even better. Here are some hacks only the Netflix-binging pros know and that will improve your binge experience dramatically. May you never leave your house again.
Request a show or movie
Can’t find what you’re looking for? Put in a Netflix request for shows and movie you want to see added to the streaming service. You can enter up to three titles at a time and, if Netflix ends up adding any of your requests, it will notify you via email.
Hide activity from your history
Whether it’s because you promised your partner that you wouldn’t watch the new season of Love without them (and did it anyways) or you just don’t want a rogue viewing to disturb your recommendations algorithm, there’s a way to hide activity from your watch history. Go to Netflix.com/WiViewingActivity to see a chronological list of every TV show episode or movie you’ve ever watched on your account. Click the “X” to the right of each title you’d like to remove from your history. It’s like it never ever happened!
Browse with search codes
You can find dozens of categories that won’t appear on your home screen by using specific search codes in the URL field. Just type in www.netflix.com/browse/genre/ and add the search code at the end of the link. The URL for Disney movies, for example, would be www.netflix.com/browse/genre/67673. You can get the full list of categories at whatsonnetflix.com.
Stop the buffering
Just because your WiFi connection is weak, doesn’t mean your buffering game should be. On Chrome, press Ctrl, Shift and Alt/Opt+S at the same time to open the secret “Stream Manager” menu. This gives you a selection of buffering fixes to choose from. You can also access this menu by pressing Shift and Opt (or Shift and Alt on a Windows PC) and left clicking.
Control your data usage
An hour of streaming Netflix in HD can use up to 3 GB of your data plan. At that rate, you can expect to have a pricey internet bill. Control your data usage by going to Your Account, My Profile, Playback Settings. There, you can choose from the Auto, Low (about 0.3 GB per hour), Medium (about 0.7 GB per hour) or High (3 GB per hour) data usage categories. This is especially useful if you’re streaming on your phone.
Customize subtitle font
If those yellow and white fonts cause you to go cross-eyed, there’s a hack for that. To adjust the font go to Your Account, My Profile, Subtitle Appearance. There you can customize subtitle appearances by changing the font type, color, size, shadow and background
Use multiple profiles for viewing moods
Having a profile for everyone sharing one Netflix subscription is great for keeping everyone’ s movie tastes separate. Each profile will have movie and TV suggestions based on its Recently Watched list along with any ratings given to programs. But you can also use multiple profiles for your viewing moods. Set up a “Back From the Bar” profile to indulge in silly comedies, or a “Girls Night” profile as an easy way to access the rom-coms you love but don’t necessarily want to influence your Netflix stats.
Refuse Netflix’s episode-binge enabling
Although spending an entire Sunday rewatching Friends is great, sometimes we don’t want to get sucked into a binge. You can disable this feature (called Post-Play) by heading to Your Account, Playback Settings and unchecking Play Next Episode Automatically.
Fast forward and rewind without a mouse or trackpad
If you’re watching Netflix on your desktop, you don’t have to move your hands off the keyboard to fast forward or rewind. Hit the Shift Key and the Right Arrow if you want to fast forward, or Shift and the Left Arrow to rewind.
Find out what the critics think
If you never know what to watch, it might be time to get some advice from the critics. The Chrome extension Enhancer adds valuable information to Netflix listings like IMDb credits and Rotten Tomatoes ratings to help you decide what to watch.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
This popular Emmy-nominated comedy will be releasing a new season on May 19.

Sense8
Season 2 of this exciting sci-fi drama will finally be airing on May 5 after a two-year wait. A group of eight individuals from around the world experience the same vision, they discover that they are linked mentally and emotionally, which enables them to communicate and share knowledge and skills with each other. In addition to the engaging plot, the show explores complex themes of gender, sexuality, power and identity.
Moonlight
The fact that this movie won multiple acclaimed film awards is an indicator that it’s worth watching. It’s a heart-wrenching coming-of-age drama depicting three stages in the life of a young, African-American as he faces challenges with his sexuality and identity while growing up in a tough neighbourhood in Miami. If you’re looking for a thought-provoking and compelling film, this is the one for you. You may want to get your tissues ready though. It airs on Netflix on May 21.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine

In addition to the original ensemble, season 4 will feature a roster of guest stars, as the plot picks up where things left off the last season. Catch the latest season on Netflix starting May 24.
The Mars Generation
If you have an affinity for astronomy and a heart for space travel, this Netflix original documentary is the one for you. The film captures the hopes and dreams of students who are passionate about human space exploration, and features interviews with renowned professionals like Neil deGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye. It explores the science, politics and philosophy involved in future plans to travel to Mars. You might even find this documentary to be out of this world. It comes out on May 5.
Bill Nye Saves the World
For an even larger dose of Bill Nye, catch his Netflix Original series, Bill Nye Saves the World. The show gives a scientific look at different myths and issues, and even brings in a stacked guest cast for panel discussions and experiments including Steve Aoki, Karlie Kloss, Zach Braff, and more. The show already has 1 full season released on Netflix.
War Machine
This Netflix Original film coming out on May 26 features heartthrob Brad Pitt as a proud American general tasked with taking charge of NATO forces in Afghanistan to win the war, and his tumultuous rise and fall. Though it’s loosely based on real events and people, the film takes a satirical approach.
MasterChef Canada

Contestants have to race against time as they take on each challenge and use their skill and creativity to whip up dishes to win over the three judges, who are household names in the culinary world.

Drama in the small town of Riverdale continues to escalate in this high school murder mystery series.

As the plot twists and turns, tune in to weekly episodes as the gang continues to find shocking revelations about the death of Jason Blossom.
Under Arrest
The life of a cop portrayed on screen versus real life is no doubt very different. If you want to get a better understanding of the duties of real police officers (and move on from the donut-eating cop stereotype), check out the new season of this documentary series. This 90s-era filmed show sees Canadian police officers on the job as they solve crimes, bust lawbreakers and bring about justice. And we’ve gotta admit, there are some pretty outrageous arrests. With five seasons already out on Netflix, you can spread your binge-watching over a few weeks.

Master of None
Aziz Ansari, charismatic public figure and author, also directs and stars in this popular comedic drama series airing on May 12. He plays Dev Shah, a single 30-year-old actor living in New York, tries to jump-start his love life with the help of his quirky group of friends. In the new season, he finds himself falling for an unavailable woman, and some interesting drama can be expected. This show is not only relatable and funny, but also explores deeper themes of immigration, male privilege and ageing.
Casting JonBenet
If, like most of North America, you’re fascinated with the mysterious murder case of JonBenet Ramsey, then you’re going to want to watch this Netflix Original documentary, which gives a fresh take on the case. Instead of centering on JonBenet’s family, police or crime experts, the film offers perspectives from the actors auditioning play the family members, giving insight on the phenomenon surrounding the case. Spoiler: if you’re hoping for answers or conclusions, you won’t find them here. Watch it on Netflix now.
