* AffablyEvil: [[spoiler:Boro. She's always charming, polite and cordial to people, even if she's planning to do horrible things to them]].

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:James, the scumbag thief that Lou ultimately hires to kill Lisa. Suffice to say, having his head nearly torn off by Lisa when he goes to try and kill her the second time is pretty damned satisfying]].

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Lisa manages to stop Boro from taking over her body, and finally gets her revenge on Lou, rendering him blind, helpless and living with the knowledge that his actions ultimately led to his son's death. Alvin Sender even buys ''Lucy's Eye'' and offers Lisa the directorial gig. However, Code, Christine and Roy are all dead, and Boro escapes by taking Mary's body, meaning that she's still out there somewhere]].

!!The series contains examples of:

* VillainBall: Lou is ultimately the one responsible for the curse's success, due to willingly allowing Lisa to take some of his pubic hair (a required ingredient for Boro's spell that Lisa had failed to obtain) in a moment of hubris. If he hadn't, or if he had've just waited another half hour, the curse wouldn't have been placed to begin with.

''Brand New Cherry Flavor'' is a Creator/{{Netflix}} SupernaturalFiction Horror series created by Lenore Zion and Nick Antosca, based on the novel by Todd Grimson. Set in Los Angeles in the early 1990's, it follows aspiring film-maker Lisa Nova, who has arrived in Hollywood after her short film attracts the interest of bigshot producer Lou Burke, who tells Lisa that he wants to expand it into a feature. However, when Lisa spurns Lou's sexual advances, he steals the film's rights from under her and proceeds to cut her out of the production.

The series combines neon-soaked noir with copious doses of BodyHorror and BlackComedy.

* CreatorThumbprint: Anyone who's seen a Nick Antosca series will be very comfortable with much of the show's imagery, featuring creepy BodyHorror, disturbing-looking beings, oodles of surrealism and heavy use of the UncannyValley.

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: Boro's cadre of zombie servants, who, despite being dead, still possess enough rudimentary intelligence to perform tasks and maintain a slight vestige of their old selves. This is mostly due to their being the more old school "magic-based" zombies, as opposed to the modern virus-based ones.

* GenderFlip: Boro is a man in the book and is played by Catherine Keener in the miniseries. [[spoiler:Although in both Boro is originally a man, and a woman is just the latest body he inhabits.]]

* VillainBall: Lou is ultimately the one responsible for the curse's success, due to willingly allowing Lisa to take some of his pubic hair in a moment of hubris. If he hadn't, or if he had've just waited another half hour, the curse wouldn't have been placed to begin with.

* TheNineties: The series is stated to be set in "the early nineties", although a definitive year is not actually given, and the only real signs of the period presented in the series are clothes and vehicles.[[note]]Although Lou makes a reference to Creator/StevenSoderbergh getting a big development deal after the success of ''Film/SexLiesAndVideotape'', likely placing the series somewhere around 1990-1991.[[/note]]
