This TV series is clearly from the 80's, and becasue of that some younger people may find it less easy to relate to.

But one thing is undeniable this is a fantastic show. The acting talent is phenomenal, not just Johnny Depp who is brilliant but the rest of the cast is also superb. The cast include,
Johnny Depp- who plays Tom Hanson and is now famous for starring in Pirates of the Carribean, Sleepy Hollow, Finding Neverland etc.
Peter DeLuise- playing Doug Penhall who has worked as a director and producer on Stargate SG-1 for many years now.
Holly Robinson- Judy Hoffs
Dustin Nguyen- plays Harry Truman Ioki who also starred opposite Pamela Anderson in VIP.
These four characters are young policeofficers that are working on a project (21 Jump Street) where they go undercover at high schools to try and stop drug dealing, prostitution and even murder.
The issues dealt with are serious and shown respect, but the show is undeniably good fun to watch. The theme tune is also catchy which is an added bonus!
I would say that 21 Jump street is slow to start but I would perservere as it goes from strength to strength.
