A night on the town mixed with partying, alcohol and drugs lands a young girl in the morgue, forcing Officers Hanson and Penhall to go undercover at the exclusive West Chadway Prep School where big time drug dealing is an extracurricular activity and enough money can buy your way out of anything even a triple rape and homicide. i really like this episode, iv rated it as though all 21 Jump Street episodes range between 1-10 as opposed to general liking of the show. i thought this episode was quite funny and the title was probably one of my favourite lines from the whole first series. Its was also the first really series crime that we see in the show and of course this brings extra thrills to viewers.

My Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades
Prismark1024 February 2023
Hanson and Penhall pose as rich kids. They switch schools and become student at an elitist school.
The kind where the sons of the well heeled attend. The families have rich lawyers to keep them out of trouble.
Hanson and Penhall are after some students who raped a young woman who then later died. Her brother has been pestering the police over the case.
Taylor Rolator (Josh Brolin) is flashes is cash and buys booze. His friends then plies the girls with drinks at a party. Then they rape them.
Only for Hanson and Penhall realise that these guys are also dealing in drugs. Will they be outsmarted by the rich kids?
It was questionable how these two guys managed to become police officers by being so poor in English class. Penhall only claims to have read one book and Hanson knows nothing about literature. What do they do in High School all day?
There is a vigilantism subtext that was heavily foreshadowed.
