Netflix’s ‘Brand New Cherry Flavor’ is definitely ‘Channel Zero’ season 5:
What I like here is the frankness of all this. It doesn’t take itself too seriously. Lisa Nova tells Burke outright that she’s planning to put a curse on him. The witch is a multi-dimensional character with her own fascinating history, and reveals a more complicated story than a mere “deal with the devil” as Lisa gets deeper and deeper in.
As for the horror aspects, I’m not sure how “scary” Brand New Cherry Flavor is. Channel Zero has always been unnerving rather than about big jump moments. And there isn’t much more unnerving than watching someone repeatedly vomit out newborn kittens as payment for the continued manifestation of a curse. Yes, it is exactly what it sounds like.
We see Channel Zero creature design return here, both in a jittery spirit that haunts Lisa the more intertwined she gets with the curse. We see a woman with a crater for a face who lives under Lisa’s apartment who is deeply unpleasant to look at. Brand New Cherry Flavor almost plays like a horror comedy. It’s dark and twisted, but because of how loosely it handles its subject material, it’s allowed to be absurd and funny at times.
I’m not clear on what the plan is for the show. It’s supposed to be a “miniseries” but it definitely ends in a way that seems like it could potentially go on for a second season. And not just with a new, unlinked chapter like Channel Zero did, but with these same characters. That said, if that doesn’t happen , it’s not enough of a cliffhanger to feel unsatisfying, and ultimately I’d recommend it to any horror fan, or especially any Channel Zero devotees.
