I love your point about pro-vigilante shows.

Is this formula popular again because TV producers are aware that public criticism of cop-aganda is on the upswing?

I wonder how much is sort of a more general idea that a story premise has more freedom if it's not always tied to literal law enforcement institutions. A PI/vigilante can collaborate with the cops sometimes, and be rogue much of the time -- and feel like the underdog all the time! But also, I figure they know that in the back of an audience's mind is -- more than it would have been five years ago -- concern about corner-cutting, police brutality, forced confessions, minimum sentences, unequal enforcement and sentencing, and so on, reducing uncritical enjoyment of cop shows.
