The Evolution Of Jesse Stone: A Pitch Perfect Tom Selleck Headlines 8 Made-For-TV Endeavors
Note: A brief mention about pricing. While it's great to get all eight of the Jesse Stone films together in one convenient shipment, many have been around at bargain pricing for years. You may want to do a bit of shopping for a price configuration that makes sense to you if the ask here seems a little high. This collection does house all 8 previously released DVDs in a new box with a replica of Jesse's PPD ball cap as additional swag.
Included:
2005: Stone Cold
2006: Night Passage
2006: Death In Paradise
2007: Sea Change
2009: Thin Ice
2010: No Remorse
2011: Innocents lost
2012: Benefit Of The Doubt
Tom Selleck is Jesse Stone! I don't know who author Robert B. Parker might have envisioned inhabiting his iconic small town police chief, but Selleck has certainly owned and perfected the role over the course of these 8 made-for-TV movies. Stone must surely be one of the most laid back heroes to ever grace the small screen and...
Soulful Detective Series
If you like a detective series with a soul, this Jesse Stone series offers it up in the form of haunting and original music, inspired scenery and sets (love Stone's waterside home), quirky and realistic plots, insightful casting, gorgeous cinematography, and a sensitive but tough detective with Tom Selleck playing Jesse Stone.
Jesse has a few of his own mysteries to solve, along with the ones he confronts in his work. Is he ever going to not answer the phone when his ex-wife calls and just forget about her? Will he be able to stop drinking? Can he keep his community happy in the small northeastern town he polices and hang onto his job? Will he ever find a woman who is sympatico?
In between battling his own demons, therapy sessions with his shrink (William Devane), and cryptic conversations with just about everybody including his dog, Jesse manages to solve quite a few crimes with his non-police manual methods.
In analyzing why this series is...
a FIVE STAR Series.... this collection features a $60 hat!!
I LOVE this series, own them all... would give this 5 stars for content, but value? ALL of these DVDs can be found for $5 each (that is $40 total folks) online or at discount stores...they have been available for some time and their value has dropped as DVDs often do. What we have here is the latest idea to package them all together and bundle them with a hat and list price it at $100.
Long time fans of Tom Selleck should enjoy his turn as a middle aged man with a complicated past. This series is an adult treat. Not a ton of action but a very enjoyable character study and this series is populated with terrific co stars like William Devane,Saul Rubinek, Stephen McHattie,Kathy Baker and William Sadler to name but a few.
My review isn't the series...that is 5 stars, Own em all, and I've watched them all at least twice. I'm reviewing the actual product that goes on sale next week. I saw it tonight at my local Barnes and Noble and was hoping it was something new...
