Johnny Depp dressed in punk worth a watch for sure!

Warning: Spoilers
Undercover cop Tom Hanson goes 'punk' to infiltrate suburban rival gangs in an attempt to halt their destruction and rescue one member caught between academics and anarchy. If for no other reason than a young Johnny Depp looking hot as hell in punk attire, this episode just has a different feel to most of the others in the series and shows the cult at its most unclean and the struggle that some face just to fit in. not a prep in sight as Hanson embraces the experience and tries as best he can to stop the kids terrorising the streets and find out why they are this way. really funny and Depp is really sexy. this finale to an awesome first season is probably my favourite episode in the series.

One of the best episodes from Season 1

This is one of my favorite 21 Jump Street episodes ever. It is also one of Johnny Depp's character's best. In this episode Officer Hanson has to infiltrate a tight group of young punks who have recently been charged with reckless behavior, and he also has to investigate their involvement in the attack of a high school freshman.

The episode has spectacular music-provided by Agent Orange and gives the viewer a look into the punk-lifestyle in the late 1980s. It is visually a great episode and the story is very good too. It has smart dialogue and even a moshing scene!

Look for Jason Priestly and David Sherrill in this episode. Jason starred of course in the series "Beverly Hills 90210" and David appeared in other films like "The Wraith" (1986).
