If you are into binge-watching, and are of a certain bent of mind, I recommend Professor Alexander Stepanov's Four Algorithmic Journeys (actually only 3 were made). Be sure to go in order.
1. Spoils of the Egyptians
2. Heirs of Pythagoras
3. Successors of Peano
4. Epilogue
The collection of Stepanov's books, papers, class notes, and source code, covering generic programming and other topics.
In these talks, Stepanov traces the history of some simple, foundational mathematical ideas and their value in computer science. In the process he also demonstrates that the love of mathematics for its own sake is good for the soul.
