I don't know any video series, but this is the book series I recommend to new makers:
Fundamentals:
Make Electronics
Useful Companion Reference:
Encyclopedia of Electronic Components Volume 1
Encyclopedia of Electronic Components Volume 2
Bonus Points Reference:
Encyclopedia of Electronic Components Volume 3
Between those books and YouTube you'll be squared away for 99% of anything you would typically build at home. I say that as an engineer with work experience designing electronics.
Encyclopedia of Electronic Components Volume 1 & 2 are great resources for beginners. They tell you all about the most used types of electrical components, how to use them, and what can go wrong with them.
