We’ve gathered some of the best titles about trailblazing Black women available on the most popular streaming services.

I don’t believe I’ve ever seen Viola Davis turn in a less than extraordinary performance, and she gives her all once again as Ma Rainey.

Every conversation comes back again and again to New York, which — despite decades of change and her own growing vexation — Fran Lebowitz is obviously deeply in love with.

Intimately and respectfully directed by Phyllida Lloyd, 'Herself' tells the story of Sandra, a working-class Irish woman who has two angelic daughters and a monster for a husband.

'Bridgerton' is a sumptuous and utterly bingeable pleasure.

'Farewell Amor' begins at New York’s JFK airport. Walter is waiting for the arrival of his wife, Esther and teenaged daughter Sylvia. They’ve been apart for 17 years, since Sylvia was a baby. Other than phone calls, she doesn’t know her father. They all realize that they’ve become strangers.

Historically, holiday movies have been about white heterosexual women finding love in time for Christmas in the arms of white heterosexual men. Hopefully, 'Happiest Season' will pave the way for more (and better) LGBTQ+ stories possible in the future.
