Best TV Series ever
Review date: 2007-02-10 Rating: 10 out of 10
There really isn't too much too say about Due South series one other than it is simply brilliant, Paul Gross who plays benton fraser,and David Marciano who plays Ray Vecchio act out their respetive roles brilliantly. This is one of the best cop series ever made. The stunning backdrop of Chicago adds greatly to its brilliance. The series is also very humerous in parts as well as dealing with some serious issues. At £24.99 it is a bargain. I own all three series and i would say that series one is by far the strongest series; and after watching it you will want to buy series two and three; although David Marciano is not back to play Ray in the third series which is a real shame but nonetheless a must have boxset.

I have been waiting for years for Due South to come out on DVD and I am so glad that I bought it. I don't know what it is but there is something about this programme that makes you relaxed and makes you forget everything that is happening.
I would recomend this box set to everybody who loved the TV series in the mid 90's, I just wish it was still on TV.

At last - Due South on DVD
Review date: 2006-04-10 Rating: 10 out of 10
I have been hoping for many years that Due South would be released on DVD in the UK, and boy was it worth waiting for! For any who dont know, Due South is about a Mountie, Benton Fraser, who comes to Chicago with his deaf wolf who lip reads (Diefenbaker) to search for the killers of his father, also a Mountie. Detective Ray Vecchio of the Chicago PD helps him, they become firm friends and Fraser ends up staying in Chicago and helps Ray solve cases.
The synopsis of the show makes it sound like it should be rubbish, but in fact it really works. This Box Set includes the pilot episode and all of the first series. The humour is suprisingly "English" given that the show is Canadian, and will appeal to many in this country. Its also a real family show that all the family can enjoy. This first series includes some of the very best episodes ever made, particularly the Victoria's Secret episodes about a woman Fraser is in love with who frames him for murder, and so this set represents real value for money. I would highly recommend this to fans of the show or to those who have never seen it before
An absolute classic!

Due South became a firm favourite of mine when it debuted on British television. This first series is absolute tv gold. As the fish-out-of-water Constable Fraser, Paul Gross is fantastic. As is David Marciano as Vecchio the tough Chicago detective. The two leads are consistently good and this helps towards making the development of their characters as friends and colleagues both believeable and touching. The supporting cast also shine, marking this show out as highly original, often hilarious, sometimes tragic but always entertaining.
