      Dana H If a show can be both out of date and timeless at the same time then that show would be 21 Jumpstreet. Begun in the late 80s it was the jumping block for alot of young actors most notably Johnny Depp who plays the lead in what was supposed to be an ensemble show but then most ensemble shows (police producedurals and others) do eventually have a lead character. This was an interesting idea for a police show and one that might even work in today's market. A bunch of cops fresh out of the academy who look too young to be believable on the mean streets are sent to a new undercover program to go back to high school and stop crime there before it begins. It sounds silly but drug abuse, bullying, underage drinking, gang activity are high in highschools and so is racial tension. So some of the episodes get rather deeper then you would expect from a late 80s/early 90s tv show. Of course a lot of it is out of date being so old and the black female lead and the male asian lead are relegated to supporting characters while the white male actors are given the main rolls even bringing in a new white male in season 3. It is a fun show to watch and if you like police procedurals this is a good one. Much better then the dumb and disappointing movies that came out. Some of the episodes actually do get quite deep and try to tell a real point.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member The chemistry between Johnny Depp and Peter DeLuise made this series extremely watchable and the cast was fairly diverse! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member The cast in especially the two first seasons has such great chemistry togheter. After Depp got tired of the role, the show lost some of its charm although it's still good in the next seasons as well. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
