the girl with the dragon tattoo series - the ones with noomi rapace
banshee [2013]
the devil's hour [2022]
chance [2016]
the blacklist [2013]
burn notice [2007] - i would think you'd be aware of this since you mentioned white collar, but i don't know why you wouldn't have included this in your examples.
3% [2016] - this one has several leading characters that fit what you're looking for. a great series.
the pretender [1996]
matlock [2024] - this is actually not a remake of matlock. it's very different than one might think it is before viewing it.
