The cringe is kind of the point. For folks who enjoy it, that uncomfortable feeling - the second-hand embarrassment you feel for many of the characters - is the core of that enjoyment. It's like horror movies, in a way - it's fun to feel scared when there's no real danger. It's fun to feel the cringe when there's nothing to really be embarrassed or uncomfortable about.
