While the later films diverge from the Robert B Parker novels, they are all well written and engaging. The actors are uniformly excellent, and Selleck is perfect as the flawed police chief. Photography is beautiful, and the music suitably introspective and moody. One caveat: the separately purchased discs have sub-titles, but the discs in this collection have only closed captions, which on my TV/player combination, requires a different procedure to access.

I love the story line. Jessie Stone (A.K.A. Tom Selleck) is a great detective/police chief with a past drinking problem. His wife dumped /left him while they were living out west. He developed a drinking problem. He got fired for being drunk on the job. He moves to the EAST COAST to try to have some sort of a semblance of a life. This is where the story begins. He is still deeply in love with his ex-wife and he can't/won't let go. The fact she calls every night to check on him and tell him about her latest man, doesn't help. His character is my idea of the perfect man, smart, compassionate, flawed and wonderfully human. Definitely nobody's fool. And Oh what Amazing... Amazing cinematography ! The small town of Paradise is on the coast with lighthouses, boats and everything beautiful!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! The casting for this series is excellent. Tom Selleck is one of my favorite actors, and he portrays his part perfectly. I read that the author was very pleased with his portrayal of Jesse Stone. I think the author Robert B. Parker said, he nailed the character. Since there are only nine in the Jesse Stone series, we are rationing them to one every Saturday, and we will probably replay them!!

Tom Selleck does an outstanding job of portraying Jesse Stone. It is a bit different than some of his cowboy films but he still has the same boyish smile and great acting. We consider the Jesse Stone series an annual "Must Watch".

We really love this series. Tom Selleck does a great job playing Jesse Stone. The series is sort of a low key drama with Selleck playing a law enforcement officer faced with some unusual cases. Glad to have the whole series!
