Guilty pleasure

A guilty pleasure is something, such as a film, a television program or a piece of music, that one enjoys despite understanding that it is not generally held in high regard, or is seen as unusual or weird. For example, a person may secretly like a movie but will admit that particular movie is poorly made and/or generally seen as "not good." It can also be used to refer to one’s taste for foods that are considered to be advisable to avoid, especially for health reasons.[1][2]
