Is it normal that i feel sad and get obsessed after watching (random) series?

This has happened a few times now. I finished watching a series I saw when I was little and just feel horribly sad after it was finished. It was a mix of feelings that made me feel like there was something missing from my life like I was doing nothing good out of it. I also got obsessed with the characters.
This lasted (only) three days. But then it happened again a few weeks later with another series, there was this couple who I liked and I got obsessed with the actors and characters, making up stories in my mind and remembering the best scenes over and over, making me even sadder.
Now again, with another series, which is even a comedy series, I just replay the video all the time, there was a dancing part and I even learnt the dance and keep thinking about it and now I want to take dance lessons. I probably looked up all interviews from the actors I like. this has been going on for almost a week now.
I just hate this empty/sad feeling, I try to keep my mind busy but it just comes back to the same thing.
IIN?

    Try to get out more? Hang out with your friends? Do stuff you wouldn't normally do? (POSITIVE STUFF) It sounds like you find your own life very boring, which makes you fantasy and obsess over shows.

    You probably want to live a life like in the shows. Don't forget it's all made-up!

    Haha, I feel the same way! Mostly when watching and re-watching the Vampire Diaries.

    I go through the same thing, except my fictional character/actor obsessions last a couple of years at a time rather than days or weeks. I was obsessed with a few characters from some Tim Burton and Johnny Depp movies for like 2 solid years. But for some reason the magic kind of died after awhile. I didn't even enjoy their latest movie, Dark Shadows, as much as I thought I would. Now my focused has shifted to learning more about Burton and Depp as people rather than just respecting them for creating some works of fiction I enjoyed.

    Fantasies are certainly tempting.

    some things in the show are things you lack in your life etc.. cookie cutter love, friends, parents? That's for you to figure out. Get out of the house do something fun and stop watching as much series, those can get addicting, I agree. But, you need to make scenes that you value of your own life! Its happening right now, dont let it pass you by!
