While the show might be bad, using "cringe" in a professional media review article is just embarrassing. The word even in casual use is just bad and says more about the speaker than what they're speaking about. In a "professional" critique, the word provides absolutely zero information other than the to the quality of the article itself.

*Just watched the first two episodes - it's Scrubs, but updated. Nothing wrong with it unless you don't like Scrubs in the first place.
