Synopsis

Spoiler shield

When cops Schmidt and Jenko join the secret Jump Street unit, they use their youthful appearances to go undercover as high school students. They trade in their guns and badges for backpacks, and set out to shut down a dangerous drug ring. But, as time goes on, Schmidt and Jenko discover that high school is nothing like it was just a few years earlier -- and, what's more, they must again confront the teenage terror and anxiety they thought they had left behind.

“The only thing getting blown tonight is their cover.”

The Jump Street reboot, amazingly, just works. Lord & Miller were somehow able to completely nail this, to my shock, and now a 21/22 Jump Street re-watch is a yearly occurrence in my household. Final rating:★★★½ - I really liked it. Would strongly recommend you give it your time.
