  If you're into chaotic bisexuality, body horror, witchcraft, and kittens, then oh boy are you in for a treat

  90's!📼 Witches!🔮 Gore!🩸Movies!🎥 Los Angeles!🌴 Correctly identifying cats as demonic creatures!🐈

  This is so intensely my shit but unfortunetly it features all those elements I love without really exploring them. We are told it's Los Angeles and the 90's but we only feel that in few moments. And there was really no reason for this to be eight episode long mini series, it could easily be shorter which would have tremendously improved the pacing. The sleazy producer scenes feel off, they are goofy in a different way than the rest of the show, and on top of that they are really dull.

  The protagonist played by non-eccentric variant of Aubrey Plaza Rosa Salazar is fine but she isn't very interesting…

  Review by Rosie ★★★★½ 5

  A mysterious horror drama eight episodes limited series made my jaw drop on multiple occasions. Rosa Salazar stars as Lisa, a novice film director who heads to Hollywood in the early 90s to make a movie sticking true to her vision, instead helplessly falling into obscure dreamlike hallucinations of sex and revenge. Salazar was electrifying, including Eric Lange and Catherine Keener who were phenomenal as well. That first episode ropes us into madness as we watch Lisa try to navigate through her entanglements. It's atmospheric, trippy, provocative with body horror I've never seen done in that way before. The cinematography and visuals were fantastic. Don’t expect a fast pace or to know the exact tone coming into this. It was truly an out-of-world experience and I was mulling over this after the series ended.

  Review by Rafael "Parker!!" Jovine ★★ 28

  Now that I've seen this movie, I am certain all the expressions on Alita's face in the Robert Rodriguez movie and also starring Rosa Salazar wasn't digitally enhanced but all organic. The actress pulled like eleven expressions with her face per second in every scene.

  I wasn't a big fan of this Netflix series, as you can see by my (shocking? Mark clearly thinks so) rating. The main reason for this is that this is not a show that ultimately felt interested in telling a story, but in simply being weird. Lynch and A24's new wave of weird movies obviously had a big influence on this series, but the problem is that while they rely heavily on the bizarre, at…

  If you were hoping for a fantastic 90's-set, hard-R series and were let down by Fear Street, your wish has been granted.

  I would have had NO clue, even with all the Netflix notifications and recommendations I get, if a fellow friend hadn't caught this as well and posted this review today.

  The odd but intriguingly titled Brand New Cherry Flavor, a brand new limited series on Netflix, is just phenomenal. This seriously brings back memories of a Friday night in 2016 when I randomly put on Stranger Things and binged most of the episodes until 2am thinking "this is fantastic." That's pretty much the vibe I had…

  Review by Sofa Sinema ★★★★

  Halfway through the binge-inducing Brand New Cherry Flavor that will taste more familiar to fans of Hollyweird epics like Under The Silver Lake or Twin Peaks: The Return. The erotic body horror was some of the juiciest I've seen since Cronenberg in the nineties. Hard to say where this will all lead, but I'm having fun watching the cast normalize the most bizarre and grotesque happenings. A breakout role for Rosa Salazar (Alita: Battle Angel).

  Review score for parts 1-4 is 8.2/10

  Review by B E R T ★★★★½ 3

  Mulholland Drive meets Starry Eyes. An occult horror series that is so close to perfect, so cool it hurts, so entertaining, I absolutely loved it. The only thing that lets it down is that it should’ve had a rocking mid-90s soundtrack, if it had that then it would’ve been a full 5 stars. And what a joy it was to watch a Netflix series that didn’t drag or go for longer than necessary, each episode was 40 minutes and got everything done it needed to. Other Netflix shows should take note.

  P.S please let’s have a spin-off of Catherine Keener’s character.

  I'm late as hell to the party but I fucking loved this! This'll be less of a review and more of a curt, likely a bit incoherent, free association missive.

  Brand New Cherry Flavor blesses us with one of the absolute best depictions of the idiom "an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind" driven to its bizarre, grotesque, and bleak conclusion with ample splash damage to aggressively emphasize that the deeper and darker the quest for revenge, the more tragic the direct repercussions and unintended consequences.

  Zombies, vengeance, gore, duplicity, witchcraft, guilt, hallucinatory fuck sessions, regret, and barf kittens have never been so goddamn trippy, twisted, and wickedly amusing.

  With impressive creativity and irreverence, Brand New Cherry Flavor rightly…

  "This bitch just puked a cat!"

  Oh, my god, Brand New Cherry Flavor is the kind of limited series that I'm down with. Witches, Hollywood douchebags, feral cats chowing down on coyote corpses and kittens getting thrown up almost once an episode, what more could I want? I liked Rosa Salazar before, but I have a newfound respect for her now and Catherine Keener is fantastic as the witch who reminds me just a tad too much of my aunt who passed this past May. If you have any interest at all in half of what I review on here, check this puppy out.

  Review by Helen ★★★★½ 3

  A bit of Cronenberg, a bit of Lynch served with a small helping of Refn for all of the glossy, surreal neon weirdness you need. The setting of L.A. in the 90’s has this nightmarish, grungy witchiness that really shines through and makes you feel dirty and uncomfortable while watching. 

  Rosa Salazar and Catherine Keener are just on point perfection here. Both performances were incredibly captivating. 

  I’m impressed, I really didn’t go in with high expectations and this exceeded anything I thought it would be. 

  
  
  

  Also, kittens. 🥰
