Netflix is a haven for true crime fans. The streaming service has become home to some of the most chilling and fascinating documentaries in the world.
From The Tinder Swindler, Our Father and Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey, to Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer story, this year has been a big one for Netflix's true crime catalogue as it's added a whole host of new content.
Often the latest true crime offering will make it to the Top 10 list when it's released, but other than that fans usually have to scroll through the more general "crime", "docuseries" or "documentary" sections to find one that takes their fancy.
But true crime fans have now discovered a simple Netflix hack that has 'changed their lives'.
They have spotted that typing certain codes into the search bar will pull together content that you can't find on the genre list – including true crime.
TikTok user @ taylorkreiling explained: "Type 9875 into Netflix search bar for all true crime documentaries".
In a video posted to the platform, the Netflix fan typed the numbers into the search bar, bringing up a whole host of true crime content – from The Ripper to Hotel Cecil.
True crime fans flocked to the comment section, with one person saying: "It works. Best way to find true crime on Netflix."
Another simply said: "It worked for me."
A third added: "I didn't think this would work. This is really cool, thank you!".
Twitter users are also just finding out about the hack, with one person saying: "PSA. If you type '9875' on Netflix it bring up all true crime documentaries. I saw that on TikTok and it was life changing."
Another said: "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."
A third posted: "Why am I just now learning that searching 9875 on Netflix brings up all the murder docs??? THIS IS VITAL INFORMATION!!!"
Keep in mind that although this seems to work for most people, some have seen some rogue content in there.
One person said: "Why am I seeing Shrek?"
Another added: " Peppa Pig also came up!"
