I really like The Midnight Club. It has such a nice tone and spins its tales pretty darn well. However, it throws me out of it when the people in the show use anachronisms like “epic cringe.” No one said that in the mid-90s when the show is set. The phrase just did not exist.

“Epic cringe” or “epic” anything didn’t become common until the mid-2000s, and then became pervasive post-2010.
