Netflix had a few really good ones that showed how the cops lied or bungled things.

Sure, cop shows are like that as well. They are so unrealistic.
I mean they do try to solve crimes? So if the "cops" win, it is good?
Yea... but the cops attitude and tone of voice is kinda disgusting, and they treat everyone like criminals, even when questioning the victims. Their bad behavior never gets pointed out.
I've had the opposite with the ones I've watched on Netflix
Old but if you haven't seen Making a Murderer you should give it a watch.
People like to feel that there is justice and that bad guys get caught. Serial killers and the source of info (mostly police departments) makes for low hanging fruit. To get less biased info would take more work. It is possibly different outside the US.
Skip Intro has a good series about this.
