What to Know

Critics Consensus

Though definitely not for all tastes, Brand New Cherry Flavor is a delightfully deranged trip anchored by another incredible performance from Rosa Salazar.

4.5/5
An utterly bonkers noirish thriller that is one of the best shows on Netflix right now. Go to Full Review
Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 08/27/2021
This surprising and deeply grotesque horror story is set in the '90s, and it's very much one for our times. Go to Full Review
Judy Berman TIME Magazine 08/14/2021
Even the style-over-substance horror crowd seems bound to be disappointed by Cherry Flavor. Go to Full Review
Nuha Hassan Nuha Hassan (Medium) 07/20/2023
The show takes the audience in for the ride, with its use of gore, horror and zombies; nevertheless, the uncanny and messy storyline makes it unworthy to watch it for a second view. Go to Full Review

So many elements of Brand New Cherry Flavor feel borrowed, and so much of what it has to say feel shouted. Go to Full Review

What was I supposed to do, not watch a show that featured Catherine Keener as a cat witch? Yes. I was supposed to not watch this. Go to Full Review

Esra Y Jan 11 Show spellbind me from the beginning with reminiscent of David Lynch movies but Cherry Flavor is not a copy. The supernatural lore is fully fleshed, unique to itself. Rosa Salazar delivers a gobsmacking performance. See more Austin R @austinrian Dec 18 While not to everyone's tastes, fans of Lynch and Cronenberg will have their appetites satiated. See more Gregory N @GregoryMN Nov 29 Insane. Nuts. I'd say "off the wall" but there were no walls. I loved it! See more Vik A Oct 31 If you like wild and weird horror, this series is amazing. Lots of themes to think about. Catherine Keener is fantastic as usual. Eric Lange is just as good in this role as he was in narcos. Rosa Salazar seemed a bit off at first, but you grow to enjoy the matter of factness she brings going along with the craziness. See more g s Apr 1 What a waste of time, the story and acting was all over the place. See more Jacob B Mar 4 L.A. noir as seen through creator Nick Antoscas eyes , complete with his trademark weirdness and highly stylized esthetic. A waking nightmare that would make David Lynch proud. Funny, dark, bizarre and beautiful to look at…especially if you love kittens (wink wink). See more Read all reviews
