Flinch
The premise of Netflix’s new game show Flinch is simple: flinch and you’ll suffer painful consequences.
Set on a remote farm in the hills of Ireland, the series, dubbed a Jackass-meets-Wipeout-style game show, sees brave and foolish contestants gathering to test their nerve in a series of hilarious games designed to make them flinch.
