As an official Microsoft series, you get a more in-depth look at the history of the company and the Xbox brand because employees are talking about their own experiences of working with Xbox which is a rarity in these kinds of videos. This approach adds an extra level of detail. If you're looking to enhance your knowledge about the video game industry, this is a good place to start.
Microsoft also put up the series guide on the official Xbox website if you wish to watch it anywhere else. The series is available on six major video streaming platforms in 31 languages. This helps make sure that it's accessible to more people.
