Depp v. Heard (Netflix)
Last year, we witnessed one of the most high-profile trials in Hollywood history: the case involving actress Amber Heard and her ex-partner Johnny Depp. The case was ultimately decided in favor of the actor known for his role as Jack Sparrow, but the legal proceedings garnered widespread media attention. Now, Netflix has produced a documentary series about the events that transpired.
