normal USB-C cable wont work. U need USB-C 3.1/3.2 Gen 2 cable or the easy way just get USB4 cable. its backward compatible.
most monitor with USB-C port will included the cable.

If only HDMI then u need an adapter for it or get a hub. Ugreen sells good & reliable USB-C hub. might wanna check it out.

Most USB-C hub comes with HDMI 4K 30hz but be sure to get a hub with HDMI 4K 60Hz.

but personally, sweet spot resolution for me is QHD (1440p). UHD (4K) scaling is too small like others mention. tried on my previous 4K monitor before. didnt like it.

for watching shows its fine. but if just want to watch shows i prefer to use streaming devices instead of computer.

14 inch MBP?

I would personally use a separate NVME enclosure as they can get pretty hot. In my opinion the heat will eventually affect the whole hub.

Just to clarify, Mac only supports 40gbps TB4/TB3/USB4 or 10gbps USB3.1 Gen 2

U wont get 20gbps on Mac as it only works with PC USB 3.2 Gen 2 x 2,

Therefor, the 20gbps enlcosure speed using Mac it will be limited to 10gbps which is about 900++Mbps read/write but for me its more than enough speed.
