The Best Movies and TV Shows to Stream in February 2020
Streaming is taking over. From Netflix to Hulu to Apple TV, there's never a shortage of things to watch, with each streaming service adding more options all the time. The month of February brings original content like Zoë Kravitz's new show High Fidelity and Netflix's To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You, as well as awards season-nominated films like Honey Boy and The Farewell (so if you wanted to see them but hadn't yet rented them or headed to a theater near you, you soon can do so on Amazon Prime Video). Sophia Lillis brings her talents to lead Netflix's I Am Not Okay With This towards the end of the month, while Anne Hathaway fans have a new drama to experience when The Last Thing He Wanted comes out on February 21. There are so many exciting movies and TV shows streaming in February 2020 that it can be hard to decide which to watch first, so we narrowed it down to some of the best. Here are 15 things to stream this month.

The new movie is available to stream on Netflix on February 12.
