Opinions with reasons
في رَأْيي ... = In my opinion ... أَعْتَقِدُ أَنَّ ... = I think that ...
لِأَنَّ = because. Before a pronoun it takes an ending: لِأَنَّهُ (because it / he), لِأَنَّها (because it / she), لِأَنّي (because I).
أُحِبُّ هذا المُسَلْسَلَ لِأَنَّهُ مُضْحِك = I like this series because it is funny.
لا أُحِبُّ الأَخْبارَ لِأَنَّها مُمِلّة = I don't like the news because it is boring.

الذي and التي (who, which, that)
Translate: The series that I watch every evening is funny.
- The series: المسلسل (masculine), so الذي.
- That I watch it: أشاهده (the ـه refers back to the series).
- Every evening: كلّ مساء; is funny: مضحك.
Answer: المسلسل الذي أشاهده كلّ مساء مضحك.
Opinions: في رأيي، أعتقد أنّ. Because: لأنّ + noun, or لأنّه / لأنّها / لأنّي. Who / which: الذي (masculine), التي (feminine and plural things), only after a noun with ال.
