I second this recommendation. "Particle Fever" piqued my curiosity, but watching this series blew my mind. As a non-religious person, the content of the series is about as close as to religion as I will ever find. And as a sports fan, I now have the same anticipation waiting for LHC findings that I do for big games.

Arkani-Hamed has a knack for making things understandable without "pop-sciencing" them, a flair for the dramatic to make them exciting, and a serious background to validate his understanding.

I'm sure he's not for everyone (I'm guessing that physicists that already know the subjects may find him annoying) but for me, the guy is amazing.
