I think you have a lot of unconscious biases you're accepting as fact. Were Van Gogh's paintings not worthwhile because they weren't photorealistic? Were the Beatles overrated because they didn't actually live in a Yellow Submarine? There's nothing wrong with fiction, and there's nothing wrong with television either. The quality of an artwork is not determined by its medium.
Waste of time for what goal? Don't you ever do things just because you enjoy them? Is it a waste of time to pet a dog or watch a sunset if you enjoy it?
It's definitely not just you but you shouldn't feel bad about it.
