The Verdict
*Due South* is a charming 1990s odd-couple buddy-cop dramedy built on the contrast between a polite Mountie and a streetwise Chicago cop. It carries essentially no identity messaging — its diverse urban cast fits the setting and the humor comes from cultural contrast, not ideology. A clean watch by these metrics.
