The NTSB. Somewhat similar to a cop show, but you have people investigating a crash with a dozen or so completing groups trying to cover off liability. That’s tons of space for intrigue (bribery, planted evidence, etc), great potential for detailed investigations, and you have a built-in ticking clock in the FDR being repaired and analyzed.
On an adjacent note, the Catholic church would make for a great show. Every Cardinal is a striver who has dedicated their life for a chance to be Pope, but if they admit that, their chances go out the window. These are people who have spent their lives climbing the ladder in one of the oldest and most controversial institutions in the world. Conclave did an amazing job of this, but a show could focus more on the drama outside of the conclave.

There’s Mayday/Air Crash Investigation, but it’s less drama and more documentary
