Nick Antosca and Lenore Zion’s limited series, Brand New Cherry Flavor is a bit of an acquired taste, but worth one's patience.

Based on the Grishaverse books and world created by Leigh Bardugo, the Shadow and Bone Netflix adaptation does a masterful job of blending together the original trilogy with the largely unconnected follow-up duology set in the same world.
