I recently got diamond membership and i wanted to know which are the best video series and chess mentor courses for about my playing strength or a bit above, thanks!

Beats me. There's a lot of videos out there so start looking for what you're interested in and I like the Greatest Chess Minds series, you might too. Most videos indicate if they're "advanced" "intermediate" etc but I'd just start watching whatever catches your eye, don't worry about the video's "level" you can decide for yourself if it's too easy or too hard to follow and the videos also list various tactics and strategies illustrated in them such as open files, the 7th rank, Bishop vs Kt, etc etc

Likewise there's a shirtload of chess mentor course look thru the listings I'm sure you'll find something that interests you. Each course indicates what its "rating" is BTW

Believe me you won't waste your time looking thru the video archives its like being in a candy store with a fat wallet (or a bar if you're a degenerate like meTongue Out) My only complaint is I don't have enuff time to watch all the ones I want to!

Last December, I upgraded from my usual Gold membership to Diamond membership to watch a video on Race Attacks by IM Rensch. Not only was I impressed with the videos, but also I was able to apply what was taught in the video in real games. I recommend you to watch those "race" videos, as the faster you get to your opponent's king, the better.
