What I am looking for is a good video series
by someone who likes the game and understands it
and does not spend most of the time saying how awful it is
youtube is infested with that kind of stuff and I cant bear them

Thanks

I watched this one:

He does make a funny, I believe ironic, joke at the beginning of each episode. It explains a lot and you see what is happening why in his strategy.

Here is a good primer. Catch is you have to read it.
