Here is the premise
From Wikipedia
Hardcastle and McCormick is a 1980s action/drama television series from Stephen J. Cannell productions, shown on ABC from 1983-1986, starring Brian Keith as Judge Milton C. Hardcastle and Daniel Hugh Kelly as ex-con and race car driver Mark "Skid" McCormick.
When Superior Court Judge Milton C. Hardcastle hung up his robe, he had no intention of retiring from the pursuit of justice. With file drawers filled with criminals who got off on technicalities, Hardcastle takes a page from his childhood hero, the Lone Ranger, and makes plans to go after these career criminals. But every Lone Ranger needs a Tonto.
Enter one Mark McCormick, a smart-mouthed, streetwise car thief who's looking at hard time for his latest theft, a prototype sports car designed by his murdered best friend. The deal is simple. Hardcastle helps Mark catch the murderer, Mark agrees to be the Judge's right hand man.
It was supposed to be business, nothing but business. How could either man imagine that the reluctant and tempestuous partnership would turn into the best thing they could ever have found: family?
