The top shows and movies new on Netflix this week are headlined by a few new must-watch reality shows.
"Formula 1: Drive to Survive" returns to the streaming service this week for season 7. Like in past seasons, this installment of the hit reality show takes you behind the scenes of the past year's F1 season. So that means this season of the show is recapping the 2024 F1 World Championship.
Then there's the new reality series "With Love, Meghan." This show has the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, bringing friends and chefs to her California home to share personal lifestyle tips on cooking, gardening and more.

New on Netflix this week: Top picks
'Formula 1: Drive to Survive' season 7
Get ready F1 fans. "Formula 1: Drive to Survive" is back for its seventh season, just in time for the 2025 F1 season's first race at the Australian Grand Prix.
For those unfamiliar with this docuseries, it's almost more like "The Real Housewives" than an ESPN "30 for 30." While that means to take things with a bit of a grain of salt, it also means that the show is entertaining whether you're an F1 fan or not.
As usual, this season of "Drive to Survive" will focus on last year's World Championship. Expect it to be full of drama as Max Verstappen's early lead evaporates and as teams start making dramatic driver changes.

'With Love, Meghan'

'Andrew Schulz: Life'
Stand-up comedian Andrew Schulz is an accomplished comedian, actor and podcaster. He first broke through as part of the MTV2 show "Guy Code" but has gone on to have more than a few hit comedy specials.
Now, he's back for a second special with Netflix titled "Life." In this hour-long special, he gets into what it's like being a father and the arduous IVF process it took to get there.
Personally, I don't know how funny it will or won't be. But I do know that the clip above where he gets roasted by family friend Matt Damon is hilarious enough to get me to watch.

'Chaos: The Manson Murders'
Notorious murderer/cult leader Charles Manson probably needs no introduction. Nor does the Manson family, who infamously murdered actress Sharon Tate in her home in 1969.
But what if this was more than just a homicidal maniac running rampant? In "Chaos: The Manson Murders," documentary filmmaker Errol Morris looks into covert motives that could have been behind Manson's cult of personality, including how it connects with the CIA's experimentation with LSD.
