From missing props and wardrobe to a missing actor, from angry power struggles to sexual misconduct, Jane and her faithful assistant, Justy, manage to navigate these messy, often political waters while keeping their heads up with bawdy humor, off color language, and professional solidarity.

She's a self-described slut who doesn't see the value of marriage much less the point of weddings and wedding magazines. For her first issue, she tries edgy and iconoclastic. Can she pull it off? Meanwhile, the gulf between herself and her father impedes her work and her personal life, and her mistrust of commitment is tested by her involvement with a photographer named Hemingway and her interactions with Ian, her father's second-in-command. Is there a Mr. Darcy for this Miss Bennett, a Benedict for this Beatrice?

Segment Art Director

Due South is the story of Constable Benton Fraser of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (portrayed by Paul Gross), who came to Chicago on the trail of the people who murdered his father. For reasons that don't need to be explored at this juncture, he stayed, as liaison to the Canadian Consulate. Partnered with Ray Vecchio (played by David Marciano for the first two seasons), he went around Chicago being polite and solving crimes by tasting things. At the beginning of the third season, however, Fraser took a vacation in Canada, and came back to find that someone was impersonating his partner. In fact, Stanley Raymond Kowalski (played by Callum Keith Rennie) was taking Ray Vecchio's place while Ray was undercover, as was learned later that episode. The series ended in 1998.
