I have a couple of videos that talk about individual components and their critical parameters e.g.

but it sounds like you are looking for content that explains line by line what every parameter means for that component. I definitely understand why you'd be curious about that stuff (I definitely was) but after years of working in the field I came to learn that most of the parameters in a datasheet aren't actually useful or relevant to most designs. For example when picking a MOSFET the datasheet might have 40 lines worth of parameters, but only 5 of them are of actual interest to a designer in 99% of cases. So that's why I chose to produce content that directs the viewer's attention to the most important stuff rather than overwhelming them with edge case scenarios.
