Why do actors and movie studios, producers, and glorified CDNs/streaming services think they are entitled to tens of millions of dollars for producing a TV show? They create mindless entertainment for society and yet they are so highly compensated. Yeah, I don't feel like I owe them anything.

Because that is the agreement they made for selling their labor/services/content to the buyers of the labor/services/content.
"Mindless" is a subjective term. Millions of people enjoy the entertainment you refer to, as judged by the fact that they go to the cinema and pay for admission. That's why they're so highly-compensated.
If you don't see the value in the entertainment those companies provide, you're probably not the target audience.
