not bad but a knock off of 'Due South'


Do a search of the tv show Due South and you will note a lot of similarities between the two. In Due South you have a mountie, son of a famous hard as nails officer murdered while investigating a crime. In this you have the son of a major spy in the cia (freehorn's mother was canadian), who has to live up to his father's reputation. In due south, Frazier is attached as liason to the chicago police dept. in this, Freehorn is attached as liason to the cia in washington. the humor is similar although i thought due south was funnier and due south also had better music. underfunded has its good points but tends to lean too much towards Get Smart in both humor and characters.
