They work, but they're less usable than the db and ml counterparts.
On the other hand, the videos themselves are actually better (I love the pen-and-paper approach), and there's a lot more small questions within lectures, which helps keeping my ADD in check.

Try watching the ML or DB lectures in '1.5x' mode (it speeds the video up). Because of the faster pace, it is a really good counter to my ADD tendencies. Also it is really nice when you are trying to cram a few lectures into a short time period.
