I've been rewatching Burn Notice recently. It's about a spy who gets burned (fired/cut-off) and his attempt to find out who did it and get his life back. It's always been one of my favorite shows, but watching it after reading the sequences gives me a bit of a new perspective on it. It's not necessarily rationalist, per se, but it touches on some great ethical issues, and the protagonist is often solving seemingly impossible problems by very creative thinking. The characters in it are some of the best developed ones I've seen.
