The Wire's McNulty finds redemption at the end of s3 by going back to being a beat cop, but before that, he stays on as a detective way after he's got any idea why. I need to rewatch and haven't got the specific MOMENT in mind for you, but I remember the HBO summaries were pretty comprehensive. I'll dig through if that sounds like something that'd work for you. That show's kind of full of those what's-the-point fatalist devotion, to be fair.
