There are many reasons.
To begin with, there is a very handsome main character. In his uniform, he conquers the hearts of all Chicago girls and old ladies, children and tourists like him, and his outfit is even parodied in establishments where they love latex and whips.
But his image would not be complete if he did not have a four-legged friend with him, which immediately gives several stars and pluses to the entire series "Strictly South." For me, Benton Fraser was among the top beauties in uniform, in the same folder with Captain Jack Harkness from Torchwood.
I watched "Due South" as a kid on TV, and thank all the gods that the Internet sometimes allows you to find such wonderful things like this.
The main character's partner is a funny Italian with a typical set - a crazy family, an interesting view of the world and Chicago in particular, a slightly frivolous attitude to work, and a great sense of humor. A little stubbornness, funny jackets and shirts, and a fancy car to boot-this is the man Beni Fraser needed.
It won't be a spoiler if I say that these two worked together almost immediately, without much rubbing against each other, which is now so popular in modern TV series, sometimes artificially stretching such a line. Immediately, the viewer gets lucky - it's immediately clear that Roy and Beni will make a splash in Chicago.
If you know movie stars well, or just remember faces or names well, then you'll love it here. Only in the first season can you notice the still young Philip Ryan, the not-yet-old Leslie Nielsen, the beautiful trickster Madeline Smith-Osborne from "If Tomorrow Comes", by the way, I highly recommend it, you will easily recognize and smile at the sight of the young Mark Ruffalo... There are too many stars in this series to count! some are already, and some are about to become.
In general, your choice is to watch or not, but if you like investigations flavored with excellent light humor, and also remember that spirit of the nineties, you should go south.
