There's a series of documentaries from the UK called "Horizon" that I quite like, they touch on a lot of scientific topics from cosmology, geology, physics, chemistry, maths etc and are usually very engaging! I watched "Fermat's Last Theorem" recently and it was fascinating!

I'm sure it's not legal in most countries, but you can watch them online, I'll leave that as a Google exercise for you. :)

There are a few other science doco series affiliated with the BBC too, I think PBS is one? Modern Marvels is cool too, it's from the US and it's more engineering focused.
