Storyline

The third and fourth seasons of "Due South" pick up shortly after the first two left off. Fraser returns to Chicago, to find a blond has assumed Ray Vecchio's identity, and everyone just seems to accept it but him. Fraser and his new partner (real name Stanley Raymond Kowalski) soon find level ground to agree on, and work together to solve crimes on the mean streets of Chicago.

Trivia

For a while, this was the most popular Canadian-based and produced television series ever shown on a U.S. network. After a break in production following the first two seasons, the producers found international funding to continue production.

Goofs

For most of the first two seasons, Ray Vecchio's car is stated as a 1971 Buick Riviera; however, several distinct spotting features (such as grille, taillights, and trunk lid) reveal it to be a 1972 model.

Quotes

Robert Fraser's ghost: Now this is where you need the Yank, so he can threaten them with force, tell them he's going to kick 'em in the head or jump Bogart all over them or one of those other colorful expressions he's so fond of.
Benton Fraser: I can do that.
Robert Fraser's ghost: Oh, they would never believe you, son.
Benton Fraser: They might.

User Reviews

One of the best

This ranks up there as one of the best TV dramas of all time. Honestly, I can't recalls details about plots and so forth but I distinctly remember the way in which this show hooked me. Great music, great acting and one of the best on-screen relationships between two men I have ever seen, Due South has always been greatly missed in my life since it ended -- especially with the crap that is on TV these days. It's a shame that no network has picked up reruns of this great show but a person can always hope.
