Hey /sci/. Non-sci here (wishing I had done a science back in university). Anyway, what kind of documentaries would you recommend I watch? Interested being particle physics and the like

I recommend you watch "Calculus" by James Stewart. You'll have to turn the pages while you watch it-- it's a form of documentary known as a book

ah my bad.

any relatively easy way to learn this? I work full time now and dont have much time to commit to studying like I used to

Physics is not easy to learn if you don't have time.

Get a book.
Get several if you feel the need.
Google videos of lectures.
You aren't going to learn much of anything from documentaries.
Learning this will take time, make some or don't bother.
I'd be willing to bet money that you won't benefit from doing this, but feel free to.

I'd start with khanacademy

Physics I: Classical Mechanics

There's no substitution for the real deal!
But if you're not into it, then any NOVA episode by PBS on science can do. Intro astronomy books are also a great way to see the big and small -- lots of pictures!
