It seems to be a hallmark of Dick Wolf's shows.

His son is getting into the act, but seems to be more interested in depicting "the right way."

His show is an Amazon show, named On Call: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14582876/

I enjoyed it.

I noticed the difference in this show as well, and I hope it continues.

Besides any conscious philosophy of the producers & writers, perhaps making the show more character driven as opposed to procedural has an impact on the stories. Maybe it's easier to understand when a suspect's rights are being violated (and to not be banal about it) when you're writing a deeper portrayal of the person who wields the power.
