I don't like shows to be like this, but I really don't like shows to be its opposite either. I like it when the cases and the characters fit together and compliment each other and have an exchange of influence, so you can see the importance of the cases to the characters involved, and the importance of the characters to the cases at hand. I like it when a show is put together in such a way that it feels like you can't really understand a character without taking into account the cases they were involved in, and can't completely grasp the significance of the cases without understanding the personality of the characters involved. That way, there isn't really any noticeable difference between character-oriented and case-oriented episodes: it all fits together and has mutual significance.

And this applies to all plotty work dramas, not just crime shows. It's a huge reason for why I loved The West Wing and The X-Files so much: the characters and the development of their personalities and the progression of their lives were very important to you the viewer and you had a big emotional investment in them, but their lives completely revolved around and were inseparably entwined with their work, which was defined by the episode plots and storyarcs.
