Netflix is releasing a new erotic and even sulphurous thriller online this week. A genre that is particularly appreciated by users of the streaming platform.
Just a few days after Valentine’s Day, Netflix is releasing a new thriller online that could become the new obsession of users of the streaming platform. Sultry and torrid, it uses a combination which regularly works to create an event among the subscribers of the audiovisual giant.
Mea Culpa is a film directed by Tyler Perry, who notably directed Why did I get married ? and who appeared in the films Gone Girl Or Don’t look up. The actor, screenwriter and director returns this time as a filmmaker. In details, Mea Culpa follows a criminal lawyer, responsible for defending an attractive painter accused of murder. But as desire gets involved and their relationship goes beyond the professional sphere, the lawyer becomes convinced that her client is truly hiding something.
In the casting, the heroine of Mea Culpa is played by star Kelly Rowland. And if her name rings a bell, it should: she was a member of Destiny’s Child in the 1990s, alongside Beyonce, Michelle Williams, LaTavia Roberson, LeToya Luckett and Farrah Franklin. Subsequently, she continued her career in music, before turning to television (X Factor, The Voice). She is also pursuing a career in cinema, having been seen in Freddy vs. Jason, Think Like a Man Or 10 Dates to Seduce. In Mea Culpashe plays opposite Trevante Rhodes, known for his roles in Moonlight (Oscar for best film in 2017), Bird Box And Horse Soldiers.
Mea Culpa joins Netflix’s slate of steamy original productions. It must be said that the streaming platform has succeeded in capturing the attention of its subscribers by offering this type of fiction where desire is at the heart of the story. On the series side, Elite does not deny its success by chaining seasons since 2018, just like Sex/Life which attracted attention with its two seasons, Fake profile or the sulfurous mini-series Obsession.
Films of the same genre are also extremely popular on the streaming platform, as the phenomenal success of 365 days and its sequel. Coming soon, it’s Sex Life, biopic series about porn star Rocco Siffredi, which will be uploaded to Netflix. It is therefore a safe bet that Mea Culpa also attracts an audience of insiders and becomes the new obsession of the moment on the streaming platform.
