This video blemished an otherwise great course...

The bulk of this course is clear, but this particular video is over 20 minutes and involves multiple steps before checking in on the server to make sure all is working. Breaking this up would help.

It also appears the bulk of the course is in this one lecture. It would be a more effective technique to build a working API piece by piece (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), then demonstrate how it breaks and how the breakage can be handled by technique. This is the developer paradigm. When the lecture becomes "I've anticipated all the problems in advance" typealong, it doesn't leave the student feeling confident that they could apply the same techniques in a different setting. Especially since techniques and tools are always changing!

I can't help you, Sir, I afraid. Personally, I am happy with the high quality and the professionalism of treehouse tutorial.... Thanks pointing out. Benoit
