Best cancelled show

Due south is a show that any one could get hooked on. Its a show about a man who decides to live in a place that he has never been...Chicago. This visitor from the north not only adapts to the city life, he uses the skills he was raised with on the tundra in the big city. This is no mere cop show or drama.... it has wonderful comic dialouge and tries to show the human side to many people, including voodoo priests, the Inuit, and even def wolves. The show would not be what it is without its wonderful side characters, from Lt Welsh, to the Duck boys these people bring that charm that makes a person fall in love with the show.
