Now that Christmas and New Year's is well and truly behind us - we can all get cracking with our 2024 resolutions and trying to come up with ways to cure those January blues.
Apart from obviously signing up to your local gym and swearing to a brand-new skincare routine, many of us are cosying up on our sofas and binge-watching Harlan Coben's latest Netflix addition, Fool Me Once.
But, if you're on the hunt for your next Coben fix, then you'll be happy to find out about the secret Netflix code you need to stream all of the author's films and TV series on the streaming platform.

Picture this: you're scrolling for what feels like an eternity totally overwhelmed by the sheer volume of choice on Netflix so much so that your dinner has become cold.
But, thankfully, there’s actually a handy little shortcut to finding exactly what you want to watch known as 'secret category codes'.
Tudum explains: "Your Netflix queue is always stacked with movies and shows to hit play on, but what you might not know is that there’s a hidden way to make that viewing experience even better."
There are already 36,000 - yes that many - secret codes to choose from for armchair critics who either know exactly what they want to watch or want to try something entirely new.
Kind of like ordering off a secret menu, all you need to do to explore the treasure trove of collections is simply open up your web browser, type in 'netflix.com/browse/genre/' and then add your ID code of choice to the end of the URL.
Such categories, which are also super specific, include Gentle British Reality TV (81240711), Witchcraft & the Dark Arts (81552046) and 90-Minute Movies (81466194).
Other codes include Short-Ass Movies (81603903), Spicy Romance (81572628) or Lavish Reality Lifestyles (81418611) - all pf which are designed in the hopes of making users’ viewing experiences more enjoyable.
"Why do you choose what to watch? It could be a lot of different things — it could be something about the picture is enticing, there’s an actor that you know, you’ve heard of it somewhere else. And I think one of those things is how it’s framed, what titles are sitting around it," notes Michael Raphan, a curation strategist at Netflix. "So putting a new thing out there that can capture someone’s attention, that’s kind of cool."
OK - so we know all about the weird and wonderful categories but what is the Netflix code to watch the full 'Harlan Coben Collection'?
The collection, found under the code '81180221', currently consists of eight adaptations; Fool Me Once, Stay Close, Safe, The Stranger, The Innocent, Hold Tight, Gone For Good and The Woods.
Happy watching!
