With the closing of movie theaters across the country since March, streaming services provided the bulk of the new movies in 2020.
Films such as Hulu’s “Palm Springs” and Amazon Prime’s “Small Axe” collection provided some high-quality-yet-small-screen respite for those missing the theatrical form.
