Answer 1

Awesome! Thanks!
"Code: Debugging the Gender Gap" on Netflix, not as much about programming, as it is about women in programming. It's a good watch either way.

Answer 4

@David, I've seen the two seasons. A great series, besides showing hackers using real commands and codes, the series also covers many concepts of cybersecurity such as social engineering, ddos attacks, deep web usage, hacking. The script is also great, it keeps the attention of the viewer from the beginning to the end.

Answer 8

I completely forgot to mention another excellent tv show that programmers would truly enjoy:

- Halt and Catch Fire

- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2543312/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Sadly, I've only watch the first season and half the second season. However, I've heard all 4 seasons are really good.

Answer 9

There are several listed here I've not even heard of. I'll have to check them out at some point. 😉

Answer 10

Mr. Robot is a great series with so much authenticity regarding terminology used, as well as, the actual code and hacking techniques referenced in the show. I can barely stomach movies like Swordfish or Hackers because the technical terminology is so badly used in the dialogue.

I've heard Snowden was another really good movie with legit code references.
