21 Jump Street Season One with From Hell DVD

Johnny Depp stars as Tom Hanson, a baby-faced rookie cop assigned to the Jump Street unit, an elite division of the police force specialising in the undercover infiltration of high schools in order to fight and prevent juvenile crime. Hanson soon learns that teenagers are equally at threat from crime as their elders, both as victims and perpetrators, when he finds himself investigating instances of drug dealing, teenage prostitution, rape, sexual abuse, gang warfare and murder.

Acclaimed for its groundbreaking approach to the problem of teen crime and its brave and unflinching depiction of what, in the late 1980s, were considered taboo subjects, the show's main strengths lay in its intelligent storylines and the excellent performances of the cast, most notably Johnny Depp. As relevant today as it was during its original broadcast, now is the perfect time to revisit 21 Jump Street.
