Social media can be a great way to discover great shows you might have missed, and TikTok is no exception. Netflix‘s Brand New Cherry Flavor is currently getting a boost from the video-sharing app, as users challenge each other to record their “blind reactions” to one of the series’ strangest scenes.
ICYMI: Brand New Cherry Flavor follows fictional filmmaker Lisa N. Nova (Rosa Salazar), who moves to Hollywood in hopes of turning her provocative short film into a feature. While struggling with rejection, Lisa meets producer-director Lou Burke (Eric Lange), who promises to help her break into show business. When he turns out to be a predator, Lisa does the natural thing — she hires a witch named Boro (Catherine Keener) to curse him. But as our heroine soon finds out, making a witchy deal comes with some… unexpected side effects, like regularly throwing up newborn kittens.
The show’s body horror peaks in Episode 4 (titled “Tadpole Smoothie”), when Lisa develops a mysterious new wound on her abdomen that produces yet another kitten. Rather than panicking, she decides to invite her new lover, Roy Hardaway, to hook up. Roy focuses on the wound to get her off, even sticking his entire hand into it at one point. As far as kinks go, that one certainly stands out from the crowd!
Unsurprisingly, TikTok users watching the scene without context were pretty stunned. Who wouldn’t be?!
While it’s unclear whether many of these TikTokkers stuck around after the opening scene, Brand New Cherry Flavor certainly packs in plenty of twists and turns over the course of eight episodes. If you’re curious, check out all its witchy La La Land antics for yourself!
All episodes of Brand New Cherry Flavor are streaming on Netflix.
