Hyper Fixation on TV Shows: Is it ADHD?

Anyone get hyper fixated with TV shows? Like watching crime shows and wanting to be a detective. Or watching a lot of Medieval documentaries and wanting to learn sword fighting, go to renaissance festivals, or make chain maile. What's the best way to get grounded again or express such feelings healthily? Is this a sign that I might have undiagnosed ADHD?

I watch too much Netflix etc but I have never wanted to be a detective. I can see how the detective movies can make you want to be one bit realistically, nah..

I watch too much tv especially since COVID. I need to be moving vs. sitting. I’ve never felt like someone was watching me. Being interested in a new interest or hobby is a good thing.
