Three Complete Seasons of the Hit Comedy Series!
Due South is a lightning-paced action / comedy in which a quintessential, polite, by-the-book Canadian Mountie from the frozen North is teamed up with a wise-cracking Armani-clad Chicago cop with a flexible sense of morality. Brought together in the Windy City by a mysterious murder which has personal ramifications for both men, these unlikely buddies must find a common ground amidst overwhelming differences.

Fantastic Buy - Rating: 5/5
It's true that the video quality in this collection is not the best, though I suspect the scenes recorded on video rather than film would look cheesy no matter how they were transferred to DVD, and it's wonderful to be able to get the entire series so inexpensively. We tested all the discs and they all played fine (which has not always been the case when we've bought more expensive DVD sets). This is a delightful, underrated series and I hope more people get to see it because it's so easy to buy.
Due South : How I miss you!! - Rating: 5/5
Due South was a wonderful series that was funny, wry, and enjoyable. The characters were lovable, and who wouldn't love Fraser and Diefenbacher, Ray (both of them), conversations with the ghost of his father, and Leslie Nielsen. If you loved the show and also the music (Due South: Vol I & Vol 2), which was great and oftentimes haunting. Get to know some very quirky characters and have a good laugh and some tears.

Due South: The Ultimate Collection - Three Complete Seasons This series is awesome, good writing, great cast, and alot of fun all roled into one. The kids and I bought this for a present for father's day. Of course, we are watching it with him lol. Good fun and I recommend Psych as another show that is great. Psych - The Complete First Seasonand its other seasons too.
Amazing show; terrible discs - Rating: 4/5
You can believe everything you read about the quality of the series. It's quirky, touching, and thoughtful, even downright whimsical at times.
I was thrilled to find this box set, and profoundly disappointed by the quality of the video on the discs. It looks at points as if it was encoded on someone's home computer. You can even see VCR tracking errors once in a while, and the third season is visibly compressed.
In light of these quality issues, I'd rate the discs as 4 stars even though the series is 5.
Tremendous Bargain - Rating: 5/5
I loved "Due South" when it first ran on TV and was excited to buy this DVD set. I paid the $30-some price and thought I had a deal. Since it has gone down to $18-something, I bought three more sets for my uninitiated friends. I am having no trouble with the picture quality. I am appreciating again the excellent writing. There is more depth and character development in these storylines than in many shows today. It is definitely worth taking a chance at this price.
