Entertaining in a Disturbing Way

If you're in the market for a stoic heroine type with a Tragic Past (that is not rape!), then might I recommend Hunted? It's a BBC production about a woman who is betrayed and nearly killed during a mission. She comes back to find out who put her name on the list.

Dude-heavy, but I really like the lead.

Also. The fights are really nice, and I never felt that it was shocking that this woman was beating these dudes.

(basically, it fills my Spooooks niche, and so far hasn't made me want to punch anyone)
