I understand why this is bothering you, OP. I had a friend who was equally as fannish as I am, but was unwilling to watch the thing I was most deeply fannish about with me - even though there were only a few episodes of said thing. Because she was super fannish herself, it was clear she knew how much this fannish thing meant to me, but she still wouldn't share it with me. Despite the fact that I had been very willing to share her fannish interests with her. Our friendship didn't end because of that, but it did indicate a pattern of imbalance in our friendship that ultimately led to its end.

If I were in your shoes, I would express to my BF that the show really meant something to me, and that I wanted to share this thing I cared about with him. I would assure him that I didn't expect him to change his mind and love it, and I would tell him that it would mean a lot to me if he would be willing to watch it with me every now and again.

If he still said no, then yeah, I would have a hard time staying in that relationship.

But keep in mind that you also have to be prepared to make similar concessions for him as well.
