For all intents and purposes, :re is a "cop drama", so I don't think this formula is going to end anytime soon. TG was more of modern, urban gothic story showing the chaotic lives that ghouls were forced to live. It was the story of the human, Ken Kaneki, and his transformation into a ghoul and having to adapt to that life. :re is the opposite. It's the story of a reformed ghoul, Haise Sasaki, trying to enter human life and adapt to a society that has strick expectations.

Just like Sasaki, the story will never completely go back to what it once was (having a strong focus on the ghouls' side) because the changes have already been made and it doesn't want to.

What it really comes down to is if you personally like "cop dramas" and don't mind episodic arcs. Which understandably, isn't everyone's cup of tea. I've seem plenty of people who don't like shows like Law and Order and NCIS because they tend to be really slow. :re is now along the same veins and with such a shift in focus, it's going to lose a few. I'm not really big into cop dramas myself, but I don't mind them either (I used to be really into NCIS when I was younger and I'll occasionally binge watch some other cop show if it's marathoning and there's nothing else on), so I'm fine with the turn the story is taking.
