Formula 1: Drive to Survive season 6

Racing back onto screens is Formula 1: Drive to Survive season 6, ahead of the commencement of the 2024 F1 league at the beginning of March.
Each season of Drive to Survive follows the ups and downs (and lefts and rights) of a season of the F1 calendar, and season 6 takes us behind the scenes of the Verstappen-dominated 2023 season. The show will help racing fans and non-fans alike better understand the drama and spectacle of the high-speed racing league.
Mea Culpa
- Type: thriller movie | releases: Friday, February 23
Is Mea Culpa a legal courtroom drama or a steamy erotic thriller? No one can really tell, so perhaps the answer is "a bit of both".
The movie, which is directed, written and produced by Tyler Perry, is about an attorney (Kelly Rowland) who is set to defend a man (Trevante Rhodes) who's supposedly murdered his girlfriend. The catch is that the man is very seductive, which means the attorney quickly becomes a little too involved with the client.
