Due South will always have special place in my heart - I have all the episodes on video and it is great to return to them. Fraser is a wonderful character who inspires me to continue to have faith in human nature. He is believable, even though some of his exploits are a bit supernatural or superhuman sometimes. The quirkiness of the plots and some of the characters I always put down to the Canadian influence and this distinguishes this show - its uniqueness is its main appeal, as well as its optimism. Others have mentioned the music - this show introduced me to Sarah McLachlan who is wonderful, and other music from Canada that I would never have heard. The use of tracks that were slow and moving while car chases were going on works - who would have thought of that? Finally, I must put in a word for the values that Fraser espouses - he is a very honourable man, a great role model in many ways. The final season was different, but I still enjoyed it. The quirkiness remained and although some of it was fanciful, it still worked for me. Such a shame that it was cancelled so many times!
