(CNN) Torture or competitive fun?

That appears to be the debate surrounding the new Netflix series, "Flinch."

According to the streaming giant, "'Flinch' is a new all action comedy game show with one simple rule: do not flinch."

"The show is set on a remote farm in the hills of Ireland where brave and foolish contestants gather to test their nerve against three fiendish games," a description of the show reads. "If they flinch, there are painful consequences both for them, and for our hosts, who have each chosen a player to represent them in the games."

Not everyone has been on board for it.

Hey @netflix My husband and I just watched the trailer of "Flinch" and you just lost two subscribers. I am not supporting "torture as entertainment"- what a repulsive concept- with my dollars. TOTAL FAIL. ☹️😡 — Sharon Barrington (@BreatheSharon) May 6, 2019
