The good start.
1. Lecture #1 was most clearly presented one. I like the way Kostya has laid down the material and had structured his thoughts in advance. 2.

Do not take this in a wrong way the material was good. 3. The Lecture #3 by Uncle Yermo in contrast to lecture #2 was easy for me to grasp and more importantly to follow. Well done. 4.

Excellent
This is simply the best online chess course, with international and well-known masters (FM, IM and GMs, and sometimes world champions like Anand and Karpov!), fully dedicated to provide excellent content in a structured way. I've been attending classes for 2 years now, and my OTB (over-the-board) rating has increased over 300 points. Live classes, as well as recorded lessons, are very well designed, and chat interaction with the teacher makes the learning experience unique. Albert

I would like to try this. Money is very tight right now.
Here’s the link for the Lite program:
https://chessuniversity.com/prodigy-program-lite
You can try the lite version of the courses which includes the live lessons (and of course access to its recordings afterwards).
I guess you can also watch all the introductory lessons for each section, which are free, and are very good regardless of your rating level.
