Critics

Audience

A group of youthful-looking police officers work from an unconventional headquarters, going undercover in high schools, colleges, and other teenage settings. Their investigations tackle crimes and serious social issues, blending police work with the challenges of fitting in among young people.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like nostalgic undercover cop dramas with social themes and ensemble camaraderie; Not for you if you prefer subtle dialogue, realism, or consistently polished storytelling.
