Where to start with Laracasts

I've just finished learning the basics of procedural PHP for an upcoming project. After lots of advice and reading old threads here I've decided to go with the Laravel framework as it seems the best fit, and it seems that Laracasts is unanimously considered the best learning resource for it, but where the hell do I start? There's 60 Laravel courses on that page, no way to sort by beginner topics and no way to know where to get started with the latest version of Laravel, it seems like more of an information/course dump than anything. The only thing I've seen is the Laracasts from Scratch course, but that's now two years old - is that a good idea?

As a bonus, should I learn OOP separately - I already have my eye on a cheap Udemy course with the same instructor I used to learn PHP - or will the Laracasts Laravel track take the time out to teach that too?

There is a Laravel Path which is a set of series/episodes that prime you with PHP, OOP, Laravel etc.
