Product Description
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.

Love Due South January 7, 2009
I remember the TV series Due South from 1994 on TV. I had just gotten married and my husband and I really enjoyed it. It is entertaining and clean TV - just fun to watch. Paul Haggis is the creator and the writer for the first two seasons. I think the clever writing is what makes the show so timeless.
Due South was the first time I heard Canadian singer, Sarah McClanchlan's voice in the background on the 3 episodes about Fraser's one love, Victoria... Fantastic! Due South uses many Canadian actors and singers.
My girls are young teenagers and they love watching the DVDs as much as I do. In fact, we got a puppy in October and named him Fraser... he has a red collar like a Canadian Mountie!
I've really enjoyed all four seasons! I would highly recommend it. However, the quality of the DVDs is not perfect. I had three episodes that "locked up" on me while watching the DVDs. I contacted Amazon and they were amazing to work with. In the end, I received another DVD set, and still had problems viewing but it was with different DVD. So, between the two sets, I have a complete, defective free, full set of Due South. I would suggest that Alliance, the company that reproduces the DVD's of Due South, should do a better job and create DVDs of better quality.
 Due South DVD's December 29, 2008
Paul Gross and the cast of characters in this hilarious, suspenseful, dramatic, entertaining show delights the audience with many talents. Paul Gross, also a singer is a hunk. Very easy to look at. If you like Canadian entertainment, you'll like this TV series. Almost all of it is PG or G rated. Great chase scenes, romance, and a little slapstick.
 You get what you pay for... December 16, 2008

I think it was my grandfather who always used to tell me that you get what you pay for. That pithy proverb was never more true than when it comes to Echo Bridge Home Entertainment's Due South DVD collection.
I want to echo what others have said here. Yes, the price for the complete collection is right but with the price comes poor packaging (I have received two of the complete collections--a set and a replacement for the damaged set--and in both the first disc in set came off the spindle), scratched DVDs (in the two sets about 1/4 of the discs were scratched and looked used), poor picture quality (too many episodes squeezed on to too few discs still it could be far worse), video stops and starts, audio dropouts, and horizontal lines in the picture frame at one point.
If you like this series as I do and you have an all-region DVD player and the money go for the Network box set from the UK. The picture quality is far superior and so is the packaging. I have also heard excellent things about the French TF1 releases that have come out thus far.
By the way I bought one of the multi volume sets at a local grocery store that will remain nameless (season one, volume 1). It contained two discs and both were in much better physical shape than the discs in the complete collection. They also cost more ($5.95).
Great value on fun and darma, laughter and tears. November 2, 2008
For this price, you cannot beat the value! This is a great series! Really top notch. The quality of the picture is great 99% of the time. To be honest, there are a couple VHS-like blips, but it's only maybe once every 2 or 3 discs (11 discs total). I recommend this collection wholeheartedly!
Brilliant TV. November 1, 2008

OK, I admit I'm only submitting a review as I wanted to give this show another five star rating as too many people have marked it down due to things that aren't to do with the show itself, (for the record I found the quality fine.)
This is a fantastic box set of one of the best shows to grace television in many, many years. It's clever, well written, very funny and very sad all at once.
I have to mention that the Season One's Victoria's Secret two-parter is quite possibly the best TV I ever saw - it's an incredible story line that grabs hold of you and will only leave the most unemotional without a tear in their eye.
It's a fantastic show, buy this and you will love it.
