McClain's Law(1981)

They used to do it his way. Now they do it by the book. But there's only one way to get the job done... McClain's Law.

McClain's Law is a crime drama following an ex-cop who left the force after a debilitating injury. Working as a fisherman to support himself, McClain is drawn back into law enforcement when his boat partner is murdered. The homicide chief resists his reinstatement, but McClain proves his worth by solving the case. Tensions simmer as he rejoins the department—his unorthodox methods and willingness to bend rules clash with departmental protocol. Yet McClain's street instincts and determination to get results make him invaluable to the force, despite the friction with brass. The series explores his struggle to balance redemption with the cost of doing things his way.
