Miss Americana

Taylor Swift famously lets her music do the talking when it comes to her relationships and past experiences. However, she really pulls the curtain back in Taylor Swift: Miss Americana, which is now available on Netflix. The film earned positive reviews after its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival last week. It features Swift opening up about her decision to finally discuss her political views during the 2018 midterm elections, an eating disorder and fame in the 21st century.

Netflix also released the final season of BoJack Horsemean and the first episodes of I Am A Killer. Amazon Prime subscribers can check out the new Ted Bundy: Falling for a Killer series, while Disney+ subscribers can see the latest episode of Diary of a Future President. DC Universe also released the new episode of Kaley Cuoco’s Harley Quinn.
