Let's be real: Due South was a pleasant, wholesome buddy-cop show in 1994. It has good values, a charming premise, and genuinely kind-hearted protagonists. The IMDb rating of 8.0 reflects genuine affection from its era.
But we're 30+ years out now, and this show moves at a glacial pace by modern standards. The episodic structure, the long dialogue scenes, the '90s TV production values—it's all extremely dated. Your kids aren't going to sit through this unless they're unusually patient or you're forcing family bonding time.
If you loved this show back in the day, go ahead and rewatch it for yourself. But don't expect your kids to share your nostalgia. There are plenty of modern shows with similar wholesome values that won't feel like homework to watch.
