Everyone's got 'em. Don't be shy.
What things do you do, knowing full well are a bad/unhealthy/unconstructive, that you do anyway just because you enjoy it that much?
my answer is simple: Californication.
Why? well i'll put it in spoilers, because i feel like typing a few paragraphs right now.

Spoiler tags are currently disabled while steve resolves some mumbo-jumbo with the host, so this'll all get condensed when they make a return.
It's a show that glorifies a man (Hank Moody) who's the biggest scum of the earth. He's a complete douche, a terrible father, a terrible husband, a raging amoral alcoholic, and he sleeps with every girl he lays eyes on (who are portrayed in a pretty degrading light). The only character who's a decent human being is made out to be an antagonist because the main character doesn't like him. To be more specific, he's the Mr. Right that the mother of Hanks child started dating after he systematically ruined every chance he got.
I know, you've never sunken low enough to watch it. You're far too decent to be into it. So "how could a show be so appealing?" you ask. The dialogue writing goes a long way. The main character is a successful writer/novelist with writers block, which gives him an enormous wallet to splurge and an excuse to act better than everyone. His incredible ability to use words and make anyone look like a bad guy, combined with an uncanny charm, makes him dangerously fun to watch.
For the most part, it's a guy show. But in my defense, there are girls-a-plenty who find his character just as entertaining as I do. Despite how fun it is, the backwards morals that the show pushes onto the viewer are too large and too many to dismiss. Hence: A guilty pleasure.
