I'm an Outlander book fan, but the show is good too. Netflix in US has S1-S3, Starz has S4 and S5 is just airing. This collates to the Books in the series so far S1 to S5 covers books 1 - 5.

Waiting for Book 9 to finally get published, sometime soon I hope.

What can you recommend.
 
Great British Baking Show & Schitt's Creek (Season one lays a lot of foundation - make sure to get to season two before you give up). The characters in Schitt's Creek are just amazing. GBBO is full of truly nice people.
 
There's always learning, or refreshing one's memory of, a new language. Duolingo!

Just before the library closed, I grabbed some old mattock dvds, rememberI got my husband used to enjoy that show. Unfortunately, they aren’t keeping his attention
 
Little Fires on Hulu. Eight episodes and 3 are available now with the remaining 5 episodes to release on Wednesdays. Hulu offers a free 30 day trial offer.
 
It's as politically incorrect as you can get, but the serial british comedy 'Allo 'Allo is worth a binge. (and there are 85 episodes in the series, with a real ending.) And it is a serial, every episode builds on the previous one.
 
Occasionally, I will read a book multiple times over the years. Each time I get a bit more from the story. Same goes for shows. Recently I re-watched the series Lillyhammer on Netflix. The very last line of the series stuck in my head. "Oh courage...oh yes! If only one had that...Then life might be livable, in spite of everything." It is a Henrik Ibsen quote. I kind of like the quote.

ive seen at least a dozen people mention this netflix documentary "Tiger King" as the most outrageous thing they have seen in awahile. I have to admit the trailer has me baffed at how this is all a true story!

It should certainly pass the time!

Saw a mention of this on one of the news programs we have on for 12+ hours in our house. I at first thought it was about "big kitties", but the snips made it look akin to Swamp People or Duck Dynasty (both of which I know only from TV commercials). So I think I'll give it a pass for now. I'm down to the last season of West Wing, and want to start a new Outlander season.
 
I noticed free On Demand (I have xfinity, but might also be on other services) a variety of The Great Courses Lectures.

I am currently watching the Black Death series. Mobid I know, but I figured maybe I can learn from the past and it makes me feel like we don't have it as bad as they did. But there are a lot of topics to choose from.

It was interesting to note that it basically the plague caused a huge shift in the way the world worked, from feudal systems and certain class systems (ruling, fighting, and working) splits where it was near impossible to leave the class you were born into, into age the Renaissance Age of science, math, art, etc.
 
two episodes in and im not sure ive uttered the words "wtf" more times watching anything in my life....

its like Bravo and TMZ got together with National Geographic to come up with the most outrageous story (and backstories) surrounding exotic animals kept/bred in captivity.

I cannot even wrap my head around how all of this is apparently true / real life...vs a made up reality tv show. (just to be clear, the focus of this series is NOT the cats...but the folks who run the big cat zoos/sanctuaries)

Now why would I want to watch that???? NOT
 
certainly qualifies as an "interesting online diversion" in my book.
