Due South really hit its stride in this, its second series. Benefiting from sharper writing, more intricate characterisation and several wonderful sub-plots that run throughout the entire 18 episodes, it's a shame that the show never achieved the success it so richly deserved. This is classic television with all the humour, pathos and morality you could desire, and which is often lacking on our screens today. The second season was also, sadly, the last season in which the original - and best - cast would star together. Ray Vecchio (the marvellous David Marciano) would be missing from the third and final season but for a last-episode cameo, along with the magical chemistry between his cynical cop and Fraser's honest Mountie.

I loved this series the first time it was shown on the BBC in the 90s. My favourite episode has to be North the relationship between Ray and Benny is fantastic. Never liked seasons 3 and 4 could never get used to the new Ray. However this season 2 box set is a bit pricey considering season 1 is under £20.

Hi everyone! I just wanted to express my thoughts on the TV show "Due South" and this version of it on dvd.
SIDE NOTE: You all will probably need the Region 2 version, and that is coming out January 2006 as I saw on your site. So just in case you somehow are interested in Region 1, here's my input!
First of all, the packaging is very nice. The discs stay inside the package securely, and there's no risk of scratching. That is, if you buy it from a store. (Try Best Buy, Borders and Books, etc). Shipping through mail: I don't know. The sets have just the episodes. I heard the International version is a lot more expensive, and the only extra featres you get are subtitles and a commentary on one episode or something. So this version is more worth it. The picture and audio are very clear.
Second of all, the U.S. had only three seasons of the show, so if you get this version, there is only three season sets (with all episodes). In Canada, the third season was split into two, thus the third and fourth season on the International version dvds.
And finally, my commentary on the show. Unfortunately, I was a little young when the episodes aired and I didn't know about the show. A few years later, I catch it on syndication and grow to *love* it! You probably know its about a Mountie and a Chicago cop. The first two seasons starred Paul Gross and David Marciano. Then, Marciano left and Callum Keith Rennie replaced him as the detective. It really plays on the differences between Canadians and Americans, while combining action, comedy, and a lot of heart. I completely recommend it.
Greetings from Canada!
