It’s essential to the success of the show that it has a center that holds while everything goes mad around it, and Salazar understands that. She seems to be actually thinking, feeling, and responding instead of winking at the audience. She’s a fantastically present performer, selling the surreal aspects of Lisa’s journey without overplaying them with melodrama.


#CHERRY FLAVOR SERIES#
Keener is the source of most of the magical stuff and I’m not fully convinced by every acting decision this typically strong performer makes here, especially early in the series when she seems to be playing weird a bit too directly, but Salazar always brings the show back into focus, even when it’s narratively going off the rails.
#CHERRY FLAVOR MOVIE#
A character from Lisa’s past returns in a subplot clearly designed to bring to mind “Saint Joan” and Jean Seberg (and the on-set trauma) for movie fans. “Brand New Cherry Flavor” is almost impossible to adequately describe in narrative terms. Manny Jacinto, having a great month with this and “Nine Perfect Strangers” co-stars, and then the great character actor Patrick Fischler shows up later in the season to remind viewers even more of one of Lynch’s masterpieces. Lisa turns to a mysterious figure named Boro ( Catherine Keener) to get revenge, and then things get really weird. Before she gets the chance, she’s beset upon by a predator named Lou Burke ( Eric Lange), a power player who promises to make her dreams come true but ends up being truly evil. The increasingly great Salazar (“Undone,” “ Alita: Battle Angel”) does the best work yet of her career as Lisa Nova, a young filmmaker who has come to Los Angeles with dreams of bringing her visions to life. Co-creator Nick Antosca (with Lenore Zion) knows a thing or two about weird TV, having delivered on of the most underrated horror programs of the 2010s in “Channel Zero.” He brings that show’s energy to some of “Brand New Cherry Flavor,” a show based on the novel of the same name by Todd Grimson that will never offer an explanation for its title.
