Store, in macOS Catalina, you’ll find it in the TV app.

The Library tab takes you to your collection of movies
and shows, those you’ve purchased previously. In the left
hand sidebar, you can view according to when you added
them, films only, TV only, or according to genre.7
Click on the Three-dots icon, found by hovering over a
show, and you get a pop-up menu. This lets you
download the show, mark it as watched or unwatched, add it
to a playlist, get an interesting information window and more.9
If you choose to buy or rent a show, or film, you need to
sign into your Apple ID account. You’re then asked if
you’re sure. Rented media is removed 30 days after renting it,
or 48 hours after you start watching it, whichever is sooner.6
Hover the mouse pointer over a movie or TV show in your
library and you get these icons. Click on the Play icon to
play it. The cloud with the arrow on it lets you download it for
later viewing. This is essential if you watch offline.8
When looking at a movie to buy or rent, scroll up and you
might find a trailer. These, of course, can be viewed for
free. The Add To Up Next button adds them to your Up Next
list, which is found at the top of the Watch Now screen.10
When watching a show, move the mouse pointer for
controls. These include pause/play, skip forward or
backward, close the viewing window, add subtitles, and watch
the show in a small window that floats on top of the desktop.http://www.bdmpublications.com | 93//AppleUserMAGAZINE
