Aroview: Iconic, lightly-rendered youth thriller series, in which four young-looking undercover cops infiltrate high schools to expose various criminal rings and elements. Notable as the star-making vehicle for a baby-faced Johnny Depp, this is in some respects dated (the clothes, the presumed 'hipness'), but remains timelessly likeable and intelligent, never becoming patronising or cynical.
