It's Black History Month, and there are tons of ways to celebrate and uplift Black voices this February. In the entertainment world, all of the biggest streaming services – Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Prime Video, Peacock, and Hulu – are celebrating Black voices by curating lists that highlight their respective best films, TV series, and documentaries from Black creators behind and in front of the camera.
These lists are filled with tons of great options and, while they are all worth a look, it can be hard to know exactly what to watch since there are so many hours in a day. To help, we've gathered some of the most popular choices across each streamer and genre as a starting point.
