If I may, some YouTubers to choose from;
peaugh[1] - very technical and detail oriented reviewer, very straight forward. Will correct most mistakes at the end of an episode.
EmGo/Em Gomez - very animated reviewer also gets into the technical stuff. Has funny sketches at the end of each review.
TJOmega - actually tries to get the anatomy terms right on beast modes[2], covers upcoming news, reviews series, and does top 10 lists. He's currently got an episode by episode review of Beast Wars thanks to patreon tier goals.
Jobby the Hong - incredibly animated, does sketches, definitely a matter of personal preference and may offebd some of our usual forumites.
EDIT: All four reviewers do more than just trensformers, and each has something different to offer.
EDIT 2:
[1] I'm not sure how to pronounce it either
[2] Something my pedantic ass very much appreciates as the phrase "backwards knees" (those are ankles[3]) drives me up the wall.
[3] Yes, even on birds. Bird legs are the weirdest of all vertebrates.

Watched Station Eleven and it was a profoundly moving experience.
It’s not for everyone but maybe it’s for you? You might be put off by the premise, but don’t let it.

Sounds intriguing, actually.
Speaking of, the series Counterpart is quite fascinating and well-made (starts JK Simmons who plays 2 different versions of himself in a fantastic way).
Without giving too much away, it's about a world where somehow the world was duplicated in 1987 with 1 point where you can transfer from 1 to the other. Initially the worlds were identical and then slowly started diverging due to small differences, and one can imagine that the differences become increasingly big over several decades. I suppose you could think of the butterfly effect.
Anyway, I highly recommend it, and if you watch it, keep in mind that the show was made before the pandemic, and you'll likely enjoy some of the details in the show, and the overall direction a world might go in depending on major global circumstances (I certainly did).

So Bobby and Alex are both Martians, right? And the books make a point of mentioning Alex' "Mariner Valley Drawl" quite a few times, which is allegedly typical for Hindi-Martians-by-way-of-Texas. And I guess Cas Anwar isn't doing too bad of a job about the whole drawly-thing, but I'm no good judge of US-dialects.
So far, so good. Enter Frankie Adam's glorious Bobby Draper ... and her very noticable Kiwi-accent.
I mean, sure - they come from completely different settler-demographics, buuuuuuuuut Mars ain't exactly suffering an over-abundance of habitable surface-area, right? How long does it take to acquire an accent? Akima said she went from Mandarin to being able to pull off a credible Bogan-accent in ... (However old Akima is minus however old she was when her family moved to Oz, which I'm guessing is about 30-ish minus about 10-ish, so ... ) ... twenty years, give or take?
TL;DR - Given that space is precisely what Mars doesn't have too much off, shouldn't Bobby's and Alex's accents be a little bit closer, no matter how different their families' original terran backgrounds?

A little bit of thread necromancy here, but just wanted to mention that the Expanse has ended after season 6, which came out earlier this year. Glad to report that they kept up the quality the whole way through. We are currently rewatching the whole show because goddammit it is so good, and upon rewatching I am again amazed at the amazing eye for detail throughout the whole show. Truly a great scifi show, in my opinion underrated and unfortunately not as popular as it could've been.

A League of Their Own was fantastic. The writing, the performances, the stories, the characters, all of it.
