What people on Hacker News said
I'm reading the entire series and it's very clear and interesting, definitely recommend if you want to get into physics.
The books and lectures fill the gap between "real" theoretical books / lecture notes and popular science books that try to circumvent math at every cost.
My background is in software engineering. I loved these books and their associated videos.
