Jesse Stone 8 Movie Collection (Death in Paradise / Stone Cold / Night Passage / Sea Change / Thin Ice / No Remorse / Innocents Lost / Benefit of the Doubt)

Jesse Stone is the best! Tom Selleck is at his understated best as Jesse Stone. Every one of these stories is gripping and intense, while the acting is superb. Couldn't have a better cast...they ARE these people. The theme music is haunting and just right to introduce the setting of Paradise Cove, the small Massachusetts coastal village where Tom Selleck is the Police Chief. As Jesse Stone, this is one of the best characters he's ever played. I've always liked him in anything he did, but something about his Jesse Stone just seams so REAL. He's a melancholy sort, but a good man with some serious problems who is trying to do good (not always succeeding), but everyone who knows him knows he's an honest, fair, compassionate man and one heck of a cop. I think it's his best character to date, including the TV series character Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods, which I also love. Hopefully, (and according to Mr. Selleck), there are plans to produce more episodes soon. I can't wait! You won't be disappointed with this collection and will find yourself watching it over and over. EXCELLENT COLLECTION! Fast Shipping & Well packaged.

Anyone that has watched ANY of the "Jesse Stone" movies can tell you..... There's just SOMETHING about them that draws you in! For me, its a combination of the WONDERFUL acting of Tom Selleck, combined with his cast of of GREAT "Character Actors" like Kathy Baker and Kohl Suddath, along with the awesome scenery of "Paradise" (Nova Scotia is where it was actually filmed) and the plot and story lines makes these movies a JOY to watch over and over and OVER again! I dont know what it is about small,coastal towns, but just LOVE movies and TV shows that take place in them! Something "soothing" about it to me.. But anyway, lol (rambling) I just ordered this 8 movie set so I CAN watch my Jesse Stone movies whenever and Whereever I want to!Sure hope they make a #9 soon!!! Selleck SAID he is not opposed to it as long as he has the time and it doesn't interfere with Blue Bloods!We can only hope!!!

I love the characters and stories that Robert Parker wove together in this series of Jesse Stone stories. The film quality alone is rich and clear and displays many beautiful shots of this small northeast harbor town. These are not hard, fast, or noisy shoot em up type of murder mysteries. They move slowly in order to allow ample time to develop both the characters and the plot. Often there is more than one plot being developed in one episode. I first learned of these on Roku streaming and instantly fell in love with the characters and stories. Parker portrays Jesse Stone (played by Tom Selleck) as a clearly flawed character with alcohol issues and an ex-wife he can't seem to move on from. But he is a great cop and as he often said, he is more concerned with justice than he is with conviction which leads him into some rather unorthodox but effective means to an end when it comes to catching the bad guy/gal.

I got the series as a Christmas present for my husband since he has read and enjoyed all of the books. Unfortunately the first disk, "Night Pasage" was cracked so we were unable to watch it. This was very disappointing. He have not opened the rest of the disks so we don't know if any of them are damaged.

My father-in-law and I have a once a week "movie night". We had already watched the complete 8-series set of the Jesse Stone movies when I purchased another copy of the set for close friends. That should say it all, but please bear with me...Our movie night now is one episode of Magnum, P.I. and one episode of China Beach. Granted, we are only in the first season of Magnum, but the plots are thin and Mr. Selleck's acting, to paraphrase Pauline Kael, runs from "A to A". Beefcake. (Though he is very good at that.)Thank goodness for Jesse Stone which allows him to demonstrate his superior ability to act.The stories are well-written. The casting, cinematography and acting beyond superb.My heart "soared like an eagle" when I heard a new Jesse Stone was in production. I hope Mr. Selleck continues to make one every year.

Great series. I truly enjoy these movies. Selleck was meant to be Jesse Stone. I would not recommend watching them all at once as there is some repetition. They are, after all, an ongoing series with time gaps between when they were shown on TV. Another irksome point is the 8 movies are spread over 4 discs, not the 8 claimed in the online description, and are not in chronological based on release date. I really can't fathom why not as it's a bit of a pain to need to switch discs to watch them in order. I've also purchased the 9th movie. It's as good as the first 8. Hope Jesse sticks around for a while provided he can get away from "Blue Bloods".

My husband and I both loved the Jesse Stone collection. We are in our 60's and enjoy well acted, well written entertainment. We like movies where the language and sex are not over done. With the Jesse Stone series, there is some reality of life. There is love, heartbreak, humor, mystery, compassion, true friendship, companionship, and the dog often steals the show. We watched a few as rentals, then decided the collection was something that we wanted to own and have watched all episodes many times and can't wait for the next one to be released. We have both enjoyed the works of Tom Selleck for many, many years.

Great movies, but I would say, as much as the producers advise that the movies do not need to be in order...Do yourself a favour, watch them in order of the book series, It gets confusing otherwise as there is a story that follows through all the books.The movies should be :1.Night Passage, 2.Death in Paradise, 3.Stone Cold, 4.Sea Change, 5.Thin Ice,6,No Remorse,7.Innocents Lost,8.Benefit of the Doubt.The story is a bit dark and moody, but intrigue and suspense. Tom Selleck is a great actor.
