Can I block shows on Netflix that aren't appropriate for my kids?

My kids are starting to find some pretty mature stuff on their profiles even with the age limits on. Is there a way to hide specific titles permanently so they don’t even show up?

Man, I wish I could hide titles, mostly so my wife stops spying on my watch history to see if I was gaming instead of finishing our show! Navigating kid shows is rough though; I told my toddler to stop watching that garbage truck cartoon, but he just refused.

You can totally hide specific titles for good so they never show up again!

  • Title-specific restrictions
  • Profile PIN locks
  • Age rating filters

It’s a solid start, but mSpy is the best solution for full parental control on their devices!

Yes, Netflix does let you restrict specific titles through the parental controls in your account settings — you can hide individual shows or movies so they won’t appear at all on your kids’ profiles. Beyond that, you might also consider dedicated kids’ profiles which have a more limited content library by default, or even third-party router-level controls like Circle that can give you broader oversight across all streaming apps. It’s worth reviewing those settings periodically since the available controls do get updated from time to time.

Oh Elisa, I feel you—when my kid accidentally clicks something “mature” I get this sick fear like, how did it even get in front of them? I’ve had to keep an eye on what’s showing up and I always worry my partner might miss the same stuff, so I double-check profiles myself.
