i'd say o8 was well explained and easily understandable.
2-7 was a little too advanced for me the first time i watched it since i didn't come from a 2-7 background, but after re-watching it a 2nd time, i thought the concepts he tried to explain were really well thought-out. i know theres some who disagree with some of his strategies/concepts, but a strategy that is mostly correct is still better than no strategy.
In the 2-7 section, I think I spotted what I would consider to be errors in some turn spots. For example he has a section covering where you are OOP D2 vs Villain's D1 IP. You make a pat 97 and I believe he advocates check/call and break which just breaks off way too much equity, it may cost around 1 big bet in expectation which you cannot recoup on last betting round
In O8 section he starts of going over frequencies for openings. Then he said to just go to a website to figure out what hands we should play. I found that somewhat amusing. I get the fact that there are just soo many O8b hands but handle it somehow. Sure everyone knows what really good hands look like. But what about marginal stuff. Like when should we first open A(45)8?
I don't think he chose the best sample hands. Some of them were relatively standard. You should always try and choose hands that illustrate at least two key concepts.
I have more nitpicks but I mean I didn't hate it, probably just did not live up to my expectations.
