    Fun fun fun. Creepy, sexy, cool, amusing. A Jägerbomb of a TV series. I had a blast. Kudos to all involved in creating this.

    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.

    Energy flows in this deep phychological-bilogical-mind horror. With a touch of Lynch, Cronenberg, Buñuel. Rosa Salazar (as Lisa Nova), Catherine Keener (as Boro), both, give so precious acting.

    Inventive. Darkly comedic. Great fun. BNCF is neo horror. Knowing in its depiction of “Hollywood” and use of LA locations, the show feels absurd and plausible at the same time.

    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.

    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.

    Brand New Cherry Flavor has its high points, but its story isn’t unique enough and its weirdness seems like the free-floating kind that makes most viewers scratch their heads at what they’re seeing.

    [Rosa Salazar] imbues every [scene] with vivid emotion that almost — almost — grounds the show’s self-consciously weird reality. Any time “Brand New Cherry Flavor” gets specific about Lisa’s pain, it comes close to working. Too often, it loses her personality and motivation to Boro’s jungle, Lou’s ego, or the omnipresent viscera of her own blood and guts betraying her along the way.
