A case of the Netflix doldrums results in Dave and Axel discovering “Flinch!”, a weird imitation Fear Factor full of banjos and yodeling set on a farm in the deep south of ... Ireland?

Thrill as eight contestants face off against “crazy dangerous” games designed to make them flinch. (Except for Sandeep, a contestant who breaks the show and also maybe hates his wife). When the other contestants flinch, they’ll get punished with car batteries and cattle prods and earn points for our three judges – a husky boy, a knockoff Nicole Byers, and an alternate-universe lead singer of Nickelback.

Along the way we learn the real reason for Brexit, find the long-lost final Jim Croce album America has been dying to hear, and discover “Flinch After Dark” – a show-within-a-show featuring hot wax and weasels.

Also, the Internet has official flinch rules that have taken things too far, and Axel has a pitch for a new podcast. Surely there must be something else we could watch, preferably something with significantly more chickens.

We’re watching Flinch!, a great indicator that we have nothing at all to worry about when Netflix loses The Office and all the Disney content.
