What Season 3 of 21 Jump Street

The Jump Street squad continues to work out of an old church in Metropolis, in the state of Evergreen. Its officers look so young that they pass as high school students and, less often, as college students. Tom Hanson, played by Johnny Depp, leads the undercover operations alongside Dennis Booker, a cop he distrusts because of his intolerance, and Penhall, whose excessive zeal gets him into trouble. The cases revolve around drug trafficking and crimes among teenagers, ranging from a fraternity rape to an extortion ring within a Vietnamese gang. The team must win over their classmates without raising suspicion.
