There is a course on Udemy Algorithms and Data Structures in Python that may be of interest.
DISCLAIMER : I've no affiliation with Udemy nor the creator of the course.

It really depends on your level of skill. I still think free courses are better material overall:
e.g. Princeton's Algorithms I/II : https://www.coursera.org/learn/algorithms-part1
(I personally think it's the best online for Intro Data Structures & Algo. Much better than other free alternatives like MIT OpenCourseware, Stanford's coursera, etc. and much better than any of the paid courses in the web currently)
​
And
>I have read many algorithm books, I have found most of them to be complicated unnecessarily.
It's probably because you are trying to learn only the surface level.
For instance, there's deterministic and non-deterministic quick sort. Deterministic quick sort that guarantees O(nlogn) and so on. You can have 2 pivot points. You can have 3 pivot points, etc. And then there's get optimized union find. Then a union find with path compression, etc.
​
I don't really think there's any online paid courses better than Princeton's Algorithms I and II. You can always pay for Udemy but I do feel the courses are vastly inferior to Princeton's Algo I/II and the contents are pretty shallow: https://www.udemy.com/course/algorithms-and-data-structures-in-python/
​
I don't see a need to pay for an inferior product but if you really want to avoid free courses, there's always that route. Plus buy a good book.

Maybe look into working with different data structures and algorithms in Python.
Here are two I'm looking at (also want to practice for future interviews):

I'm quite happy with this one. He uses Python for his demo which is a big plus for me. And his accent not too difficult for non-English speaker like myself.

Other ones I see got recommended here quite often
