I really am jealous of students today that have access to supplemental study material like this. Learning from an instructors scribblings on a chalkboard or a single image in a textbook is nothing compared to these types of videos.
There was a series on PBS (late 80s/early 90s. If I had to guess, it was a WGBH production) on physics that really helped my understanding of topics that might have been a little fuzzy from classroom lectures and textbook readings. However, even as well as that series was produced, it moved around a lot and was only so many episodes.
Today, there's not just one person, but multiple people making videos like this with so many more videos covering so much more ground. You get the advantage of hearing the same thing from different voices that might say it in just the right way that makes it click for you.
