Search - Due South: Season One (4-DVD Digipack) on DVD

I had never heard of this show until I ordered it from Swapadvd.

Very very pleasantly surprised. A truly wholesome concept. The acting was really well done. Is it dated a bit, but still very relevant. No matter what I say here, still would not do it justice.

Do not expect high definition or incredible effects. Some lines are a little cheesy but overall it has an underlying theme we could all take for a spin, manners, empathy, kindness, respect, honesty and compassion.

It is a binge watch for sure and possibly addicting..

Handsome Canadian RCMP banished to the Canadian embassy in Chicago with his deaf wolf that saved his life.

Fabulous TV Series

"I'm so glad I learned about this Television Series. I never caught it when it was on the air, but I'm loving the first season of episodes. I like unique shows that combine comedy, drama and quirky characters (like Northern Exposure, Gilmore Girls and Monk). Due South fits very well into this category. It's a cop show (complete with car chases.) It has wonderful characters you instantly like. The themes about friendship are strong. And the comedy is deadpan and hilarious. The set-up for the show is that a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police ends up working in Chicago as the unofficial partner of a Chicago Detective. The Canadian is perfect: polite, proper, sweet, gorgeous, brilliant, loyal, proficient and ever-so-serious. The Chicago cop is cynical, bumbling, uncool, intuitive, and a loyal friend. They're the perfect pair, and it's the dynamic between the two of them that makes for great comedy. I highly recommend it anyone looking for a new show that's well written, well directed, well acted & well filmed."

Save a bundle! Buy this set.

""Due South" comes in two releases for the first season. There is a high priced release missing the two-part series premier and then there is this cheaper release.



What is the difference? This release was mastered from the original broadcast tapes. As such it isn't perfect, but it does contain the pilot episodes. I feel that saving the money in order to get those pilot episodes gives those viewers a chance to see an important background into the main characters.



This set does not contain, and you aren't paying for, closed captioning, languages other than English, or an extensive menu structure. I can live with that to save a lot of money."
