Netflix has once again refreshed its Top 10 globally, and this week, a new drama directed by Tyler Perry has become the most-watched movie on the platform, dominating the ranking.

Like any dramatic action and crime thriller, the story has it all: chaos, excitement, and a lot of sensuality. The narrative follows Mea, the character played by Kelly Rowland, who is accompanied by Trevante Rhodes.

The director wrote the script, which follows a criminal defense attorney who, hoping to become a partner, takes on the case of an artist who may or may not have murdered his girlfriend.

According to the platform-specialized site, Flix Patrol, the title directed and written by Tyler Perry has become the number 1 in multiple countries, surpassing other productions such as Through My Window 3: Looking at You.

Over the weekend, the thriller became a trending topic not only for its new position in the ranking but also for its high-voltage sensual scenes, the amount of drama in the narrative, and the complex characters.

The cast includes prominent figures such as Kelly Rowland and Trevante Rhodes, who bring Mea and Zyair to life. They were joined by Sean Sagar, Nick Sagar, RonReaco Lee and Shannon Thornton in significant roles.

During an interview with Yahoo Entertainment, the filmmaker in charge was asked about the unexpected twists the movie took and how he found the right balance for the various genres in the plot. Perry replied:

“I don’t dictate my script to myself when I’m writing it. Whatever the characters are telling me is what I’m writing down, whatever their, whatever, because I feel like I’m, I’m taking notes from these characters as they show up in my head.

This person was that evil and that person was that evil — everybody had a voice and I just went for it. I’m glad you don’t feel like it’s too much, but my audience loves too much, so I just went for it”.
