Rarely has a story about a movie proven the old adage that “no one knows anything” quite like this.
The tone here is David Lynch meets David Cronenberg meets Quentin Tarantino, moody and heightened in the early episodes, then ever more weird and gory. It all hinges on Salazar and treatises may be written on her huge, expressive eyes, which jump between angered, exhausted, erotic and (repeatedly) horrified.

I really loved this show! It gave me Cronenberg meets Lynch vibes with a nice dose of dark comedy added into the mix. Fantastic performances and direction, I would love to see another season.

SEASON 1
In another show, Lisa might have been the naïve victim in a cautionary tale about what can happen in the pursuit of power. Instead, as the series brings her own transgressions into focus, she remains bracingly imperfect, an anchor for the deep and hopeless pessimism that Brand New Cherry Flavor clearly and forcefully articulate.
Most of its imagery recalls better projects like Mulholland Drive or eXistenZ, but Antosca and Zion’s commitment to telling a deeply unsettling occult story is, for lack of a better word, bewitching.
The flavor certainly has bite, and for some, that’ll be enough. But as the macabre and just plain odd moments pile up, it’s pretty clear that this is one of those made-to-binge brews that’s the streaming-TV equivalent of empty calories.
Despite its game cast, some unique imagery, and plenty of gore, we’ve seen this story before and done better.
A technically competent, thematically bankrupt, utterly gratuitous pastiche of L.A. noir and body horror in the early David Cronenberg mold. ... “This world we live in is predators and prey. And each and every one of us is both,” Lou tells Lisa, in the first episode. ... As disappointing as such a glib argument would be from a better-made series, it renders Cherry Flavor fully execrable.
I'm laughing at Time and CNN not liking this. Figures, as I can't stand either of those outlets. This, however, I thoroughly enjoyed. Didn't care for the rotoscope series on Amazon with Rosa Salazar, and she didn't impress me otherwise, but she really carried this. Everyone was good and it is a real, **** up ride. Kinda like The Player meets Reanimator.
