Late answer, I know - but Ten Years that Shook the World is a great outlook on the period, even if it's from a non-marxist perspective. Otherwise I'd check out Mike Duncan's coverage of the revolution on his podcast, altough he takes a very liberal turn at the end.
Yea, I don't really like recommending massive books no matter how readable they are, but I don't think a subject matter as massive as the 1917 revolution or the civil war can be consumed that lightly. And as far as I know most Youtube documentaries or essays are not that good.

That's on my massive book backlog 😩
