Watch She's Gotta Have It

She's Gotta Have It is a Netflix series that premiered in 2017 and wrapped up after two seasons in 2019. Directed by Spike Lee, it's a contemporary update of his 1986 film of the same name.

The show deals with themes like polyamory, modern relationships, gentrification, and Black female identity.
