Critics

Audience

A team of youthful-looking police officers goes undercover in high schools, colleges, and other teenage settings to investigate crimes and protect young people. Their cases address issues ranging from drug abuse and violence to discrimination and family trouble, blending serious themes with accessible, self-contained stories.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like earnest undercover crime dramas, youthful casts, and socially focused 1980s television, but Not for you if you dislike dated dialogue, predictable cases, or after-school-special sentiment.
