If you are a fan of the show, you are part of the fandom.

If you like the show and remain invested in it, e.g. by watching a full season of the series, then you are a fan, even if you claim otherwise.

If you like the show without being invested in it, then... presumably, you appreciate the franchise mostly for the toy line or some other reason. Is it appropriate to call such a person a fan? It depends on the case.
