I love your meta!! I'm doing a rewatch and reading along as I do.

My first watch of due South also lead me to reflect on the nature of genres ("fantasy" vs "procedural" vs "magical realism")-- how they are aesthetic and marketing categories more than they are descriptions of a text's relationship to reality. (due South really breaks/exposes the the artificiality of those genre distinctions.)

But you've articuted a whole other dimension of genre here! You've pointed out important things about dS's relationship to realism and how it compares to other TV. Thanks for giving me a new way to think about the show. :)
