Why do so many shows end up being cop shows? (slrpnk.net)

I was looking for a new TV show to watch on prime and started Colony, and half way through the first episode it is revealed it is a cop show. It looks like there is an anti cop element to it, but I am tired of cop shows at all.

I started to watch Blindspot a while back, but that was an FBI show.

While scrolling Hulu the other day I saw a show with Sweet Dee from Always Sunny... Yup another cop show.

Any good, not cop, shows on Prime?

I would love a good western that was not cop related (Bass Reaves was good, but he was a cop). I have been enjoying the Abandons, but it was cancelled and I cannot watch Netflix at work.
