Insofar that some TV series might benefit children, I’d nominate Magic School Bus, Wishbone, and Kratt’s Creatures. In the realm of things not intended to be explicitly educational, I’d suggest Avatar: The Last Airbender for moral philosophy and nuanced politics.
I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen any movies that would benefit an adult of the sort who reads Lesswrong beyond entertainment value.
There quite a lot of movies with themes LW would get behind—Scooby doo, Limitless, 3 idiots, The Croods...
Deconstructing movies, however, is a good mind-expanding activity. I’ve definitely gotten some handy ideas from TVtropes.
