This isn't strictly IT security, but the National Geographic Channel show 'Hacking the System" does provide some information of interest to security professionals.
According to their Web page:
"For 15 years, Brian Brushwood has made a career out
of social manipulation and thinking like a criminal and now he’s here to reveal
how to avoid people who cheat the system and show you how to use the legal tips, tricks,
and shortcuts to get ahead in life. One hack at a time."
Part of the series are available on Youtube - possibly Netflix or Hulu also have the series.
