Editorial Reviews

This is the story of a Canadian mountie who went to Chicago to find his father's killer. Eventually the trail led back to another mountie. He was then treated as persona non grata by his other mounties, and the only place he could get posted was Chicago. Unfortunately, he is more of an outdoors kind of guy, which infuriates the Chicago detective with whom he works.

3.0 out of 5 stars Due S outh - The Final Season, November 3, 2005

This review is from: Due South - The Final Season (4th Season) (DVD)

The quality of the DVD is excellent, but BUYER BEWARE: if you purchased Season 3 containing something like 24-26 episodes, than you HAVE Season 4!!!!

I purchased season 3, watched it and then purchased season 4 thinking I was going to see something new. WRONG! They are the exact same episodes that are contained in the Season 3 DVD set, in addition to the actual eps that belong in Season 3. I can't tell you how disappoineted I was to discover this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice for hardcore fans, but otherwise unnecessary, October 27, 2007

This review is from: Due South - The Final Season (4th Season) (DVD)

This is the CANADIAN season four of Due South. If you bought the AMERICAN season three, the one with Ray V on the cover, you have every episode on these disks. I rented the American DVDs before I purchased the Canadian DVDS, and it is true that the Canadian set has better quality video, but if you buy the American version YOU HAVE NOT MISSED ANY EPISODES. Even episodes that weren't aired in the US are included. The reviewer above, orchid1831, is incorrect.

However, there's a commentary extra by Paul Gross on the series finale that isn't included in the American set. Also, the packaging isn't as bad as some reviewers of the season 3 set have made it out to be. The overlapping DVDs are a little annoying because if you want to get to the one on the bottom, you have to pop both of them out, but the disks aren't "difficult to remove without damage" or anything. Perhaps if you tried to grasp the disk by the edges and pull it out of the case with brute force you would damage it, but there is a little button in the center that says "push" and magically, when you push on it, the disk is released.

I don't regret my purchase, but if you aren't worried about the picture quality there's no reason not to save money and buy the American season 3 instead of the Canadian seasons 3 and 4. Personally, this was my favorite season, so I am happy to spend extra for the quality and the commentary. If you decide to get the Canadian season 3 and season 4 instead of the combined US version, look for season 3 on the Canadian amazon.com, listed at the bottom of this page under "international sites". It's much cheaper than the imported season 3 offered on this site.

4.0 out of 5 stars U.S. buyers need to be aware of something..., August 4, 2006

This review is from: Due South - The Final Season (4th Season) (DVD)

I noticed S. Roman was complaining about "Season 3" being the same as "Season 4" However, people need to be aware of something...

The U.S. run of Season 3 is the combined of the original Seasons 3 & 4 (since this show is originally Canadian) with several episodes cut out...Therefore, only get this if you have the *Canadian* season 3 otherwise, it will be a bunch of repeats. Sorry U.S. Season 3 holders, unless you plan to buy the Canadian ones, you'll just have to make do with not seeing the cut out episodes...or finding someone who has them.

Season 4 is, I think, a strong and consistent season for Due South although the ending to it leaves it rather open, hence The Call of the Wild follow-up...I highly recommend it, regardless.
