Having just basic internet and youtube can go a long way. So you can get creative during a crisis and learn to work with a bit less to get almost as much.

Even a deck of playing cards can kill plenty of time. Pencils and paper are cheap as well.
There are also a few free services. A lot of them (IMDB tv, tubi, etc) show alot of the same movies and shows, but Pluto TV is actually a very interesting service (features content from Viacom and "clip shows" from networks like CNN)
TV antenna is another option if you don't want to pay for land line internet
You can stream most movies and TV shows online for free if you are willing to spend the time looking for them!
Friendly reminder that there is nothing immoral about "piracy" of digital content. Culture should be free, so if you're not in a position to afford content, don't pay for it.
> Culture should be free,
Tell that to the artists who want to make a living making this stuff.
