DVD Reviews of Due South : Season 1
DVD Review: Fantastic!
Summary: 5 Stars
An absolutely unique and delightful show! BUT...stop at the end of Season Two. Season Three is almost wholly abominable.DVD Review: Buy from Amazon Canada
Summary: 5 Stars
Thanks to other reviews for this item I was aware of both the difference in image quality, what constituted the various "seasons" of this series, and the mismatch in cost of the sets between Amazon US and Amazon Canada.
Having ordered all 4 of the Canadian seasons I can say there's no question the image quality on these sets is terrific. By getting them through Amazon Canada I got them for a comparable price to the other US sold sets listed on Amazon (and available through Best Buy). It took maybe an extra week to receive them but this was mostly due to availability so otherwise it was still pretty prompt.
As to the show I am still going through the seasons but Season 1 has been a delight. Unfortunately the pilot episode is available only on the Season 3 box set. While it helps to have seen the pilot, if you only want to try out the first season it's not critical to have seen it. I'm betting though that you will want to see more after the first set so a purchase of both seasons at the same time will not be a bad bet.
If you do buy Season 3 at the same time, this is the only one of the 4 that did not use double sided discs. For some reason the discs were also very loose meaning all 4 had moved all over the box when it was opened. So far it doesn't seem to have damaged the discs, but you may want to check them as soon as you receive the package.
DVD Review: First season of my favorite show ever.
Summary: 5 Stars
"Due South" was a classic! The first season, with RCMP Constable Benton Frasier, (accompanied by his deaf wolf, Diefenbaker) totally removed from his Yukon roots, and dealing with his friend and reluctant partner, Chicago Detective Ray Vecchio was absolutely classic. Some of the best scenes, though, take place in Ray's precinct squad room, where his harried Lieutenant Welsh (Canadian actor Beau Starr) was always trying to figure out, "just how does the mountie figure into this?"
Great, great show. I have the whole series.
DVD Review: Cheaper Best-Buy DVD's
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a note about the cheaper Best Buy DVD's that some here have mentioned. While it is true that Best Buy tends to sell the sets cheaper, as far as I know there is no new edition of the Due South season sets.
The version listed here is the Canadian DVD release (note that it says "import" on the product description) by Alliance Atlantis (the company that produced Due South).
What you may be seeing at Best Buy is the *far* cheaper US release "Platinum" DVD's which do include the pilot in the season 1 set. However, do note that these have a lower screen quality whereas the Canadian version has been digitally remastered. The Platinum DVD's do not have at least one few voice-over commentary present in the Canadian release.
This more expensive Canadian release has the 'misplaced' pilot inserted in the third season set, the additional 'Final Fourth Season' set (which is encorporated in the Platinum set's third season set), troublesome double-sided DVD's, and unreliable packaging with DVD's that come loose during shipment.
That said, Best Buy Canada does seem to carry the Canadian sets at prices cheaper than those listed on Amazon.com *and* Amazon.ca.
You decide whether you want price or screen quality!
DVD Review: due South Final Season
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have bought Seasons 1-3 at the Best Buy ---DON'T Buy the "Final Season". It is simply the same episodes as what appears on the previous DVDs. The only thing you will get is Paul Gross doing commentary over Call of the Wild. (Which is great because I could listen to him recite the alphabet and be happy). Wish I knew how to get the "Lost episodes" because I know there are some missing!
