Have you used any of such and which would you recommend?
Better than Netflix / Hotstar or just a form of edutainment?

I have used Brilliant to review specific topics and found it to be of higher quality than similar free services, but too pricey for continuous access. However, I would recommend it to high school or early undergrad student wishing to quickly advance on multiple fronts. I think it could also be highly useful in any situation where you are missing a specific prerequisite.

Huge fan of Great Courses. Used to buy CD sets used on eBay; now of course streaming is available. Great on long car rides. I think they are especially great on topics like history, religion, philosophy, etc.

By the way, great courses are available on audible, and they are often quite cheap. I’ve even gotten freebies.

Doesn't your library carry the Great Courses?
I get my audio books through my local library. They subscribe to a service called overdrive. I can check out whatever I want, download at my liesure, and there are no late fees.
It's just so convenient and easy, I am too lazy to pirate copies, much to my chagrin.
