"Perfect"

By JohnnyDepp21JS, Nov 07, 2008

i love the way Jenko is like still stuck in the whole woodstock phase like an 80's hippie it just makes me giggle i did like jenko but i think the captain we were to see later in steven williams was more structural and police like i dont know how far jenko could have gone with jump street i mean how long can a police deopt survive with doing no paperwork filing no reports etc. Johnny Depp is just amazing in this starting episode as Tom Hanson i love the scene when hes in the hospital with kenny and he just beats the information out of him haha its so hilariousmoreless

A very good episode, but I discovered I don't like Jenko.

"Superb"

By Kali2006, Dec 17, 2006

Although i've seen up to the end of the forth season this was the first time I saw this episode. It was very good for a pilot. Kenny looked really young to be doing drugs. I liked the part when Hanson tells Ioki that his father got the medal of valor for getting killed. I also liked it when Hanson got elbowed in the face by Waxer. I liked the way when Hanson told Jenko that shots were fired he immediately asked if he was okay.All things considered it was a great episode, definately worth watching. But i'd really like to see the first half as well.moreless
