Jesse Stone 4-pack DVD Bundle (Stone Cold / Night Passage / Death in Paradise / Sea Change) Reviews:
Great Series
2009-06-22 - I just finished watching all five movies but I couldn't really find a reliable recommended viewing sequence and the slipcases don't reveal much either. This series is somewhat odd anyway because the individual movies were not produced/released in sequence. I recommend viewing the series in this order to more-or-less keep the time line straight.

Night Passage: Jesse Stone moves from Los Angeles to Paradise, Massachusetts after he and his wife divorce and he is terminated from LAPD for drinking on the job. This isn't necessarily a bad thing because the main "bad guy" is looking for a police chief that will turn a blind eye to corrupting in the city.

Stone Cold was actually filmed first in the series but the time line occurs after Night Passage so it makes more sense to watch Stone Cold after Night Passage.

Death in Paradise: "Suitcase" is shot in the line of duty.

Sea Change: "Suitcase" is still in the hospital at the beginning of the movie. Any further details might spoil the movie.

Thin Ice: The city council forces Jesse Stone to take a leave of absence without pay. In the final scene, Jesse is on a bus presumably leaving town.


Really excellent
2009-06-06 - The best cinema is dependent on creating characters that you care about. This series does it in spades. Selleck creates a character that I'd love to know. The acting is good, the stories are entertaining, and somewhat twisted. My family loved each one of them.The plots are a well developed if not a bit predictable. I found something unexpected in each one of them.
I own these movies..

Jesse Stone movies
2009-05-16 - I've read a LOT of the Spenser novels and ALL of the Jesse Stone novels. These movies disappointed me. The movies resembled the books in name only. Whoever directed these movies took a lot of liberties. They do not follow the story lines at all. I am surprised Robert B. Parker allowed his work to be butchered like this.

great series!
2009-05-03 - I don't watch a lot of network TV, so I didn't find out about this series until I discovered them at my local video store. What a find! They don't have the quick pace of most TV movies, or shows but they are very engaging. There isn't a whole lot of blood, nor shootm up bang bang, but interesting life experiences of a small town police chief who came from LA, where he was a detective. The stories are excellent, as is the acting.

Tom "Jesse Stone" Selleck
2009-04-26 - As a longtime fan of Tom Selleck (Quigley Down Under) I find his portrayal of Jesse Stone is right on. I realize Jesse is younger in the books but Selleck has him pegged. How about coupling Jesse up with Sunny Randall or Spenser in a mlovie?
