Social workers: underpaid, overworked, too many cases to handle, and every week there's a new case to handle or an old one to revisit. There are different categories of Social Workers, but it'd be nice to cover a mix, so you dealt with elderly people with trouvle getting out, child adbuse/neglect, homelessness, and so on. If it was limited to one offiice, I'd pick mental health workers.
The various types of cases also lets you do a patient-of-the-week type format.
Sounds like it has the potential to be absolutely depressing, though.
A very depressing subject for sure, but a good lens to do meta-analysis of a number of failing social systems in the mold of The Wire. With the magic of screenwriting there could be a handful of good outcomes, moments of catharsis, and Hamsterdams while showing how fucked up everything is.
