I have a suggestion for a "treadmill show" for you. How about "The Rookie"? I've been using it as such for myself and it works pretty well. Sure it is mostly standard "cop show" fare, but it is done with some humor and charm. It is also interesting from the perspective of looking back on pre- and post- George Floyd cop shows.

Yes, it fell into the "but we're the good ones" trap that B99 made fun of, but I don't think it had much of a choice given the characters it had established already. But it did find a way of having discussions of modernizing policing, while, sure, having gun fights with drug dealers in the next scene.
