I mean a show with nice cars, nice suits, nice women, political intrigue, lots of money, a hint of danger, and just enough of a romantic subplot so we don't think our main character is a raging psycopathic killing machine. Preferably more dramatic than funny.

Any suggestions?

I didn't watch anime until I was over 25 but Golgo 13 is 007 on steroids!

Burn Notice...

Michael 's Car: old school Dodge Charger(8/10),

Suits (6/10, sort of has the Miami Vice-ish, suits aren't tailored or anything expensive type)

Women (6.5/7/10, Fiona is meh but theres often decent looking guest stars as Michael's clients)

Political Intrigue (9/10, deals with CIA and covert guvmint agencies)

Money (5/10, he's a burned spy with frozen assets = broke)

Hint of Danger (10/10, shootouts and explosions galore)

Romantic subplot (8/10, Fiona and Mike are ex-lovers, decent amount of tension there)

Raging Psychopathic Killing (7/10, when Mike is pushed to the extreme)

show has is hokey moments, but def brings the entertainments

I just finished the first season of Hunted on Cinemax. Really good spy series. Had the feel of a bug budget movie which is probably why the second season will have a much lower budget. SMH. The lead is a female spy though but her fighting skills are awesome.
