Though the stories are not on the disc in chronological order, I just looked on line to get the info. They do build on the previous movies so you will mis out if you don't watch in order. The characters are very real, flawed, but good people and I love the small town environment. If you like "cop shows", don't miss Jesse Stone! He isn't Frank Reagen, but he is a good cop.

I bought these DVD's because I liked the first Jesse Stone movie I'd seen & thought I'd enjoy the other stories as well. Tom Selleck is always watchable, and I liked the other actors playing returning characters. However, I felt the writing of the episodes was kind of poor- started to feel like I was watching the same episode over & over - even the dialogue was the same at points. I'm not sure I'll buy the other Jesse Stone movies I don't have because of this issue, which is too bad- these movies could have been further developed so much more than they ended up being. It wasn't the acting at all, just poor writing.

I enjoy the plodding mystery stories in this group. Not a fan of Tom Selleck in his younger years but like him as the laconic, intense, older police chief, who leaves Los Angeles and takes the post in a small town in Massachusetts, where there is more crime than one might expect. I cringe each time he pours a Scotch rocks, which is frequently. He's an admitted alcoholic, and his visits to a shrink, played by a bearded William Devane, are humorous at times. Other supporting cast members include Viola Davis, in an understated role as his colleague (would like to see more of her), his likable sidekick cop nicknamed "Suitcase", played by Kohl Sudduth, and my personal favorites, Boomer, his bloodhound who travels with him cross country to his new job and soon has to be put to sleep due to illness, and Reggie, an Irish Setter/Retriever mix he adopts after finding him sitting next to his murdered owner. There's romance, mystery, and family drama--the whole gamut. The background music is mournful, the scenery is beautiful, dark and cold at times. I plan to buy the rest of the series.Read full review

Love the movies. Thats why I ordered them. The only problem is that when I downloaded them from Sony to VUDU; the only service I had available that could recieve them; movie #8 Benefit of the doubt never made the transfer so I only have 7 movies in my library. I have contacted VUDU several times and they always admit the problem is on there end and that they will take care of It. I will hear from them in a day or two. Never heard from them and at this point am quite sure I never will. L. L. Benson

These movies are just the ticket when you want a good story with great attention to detail. The cast is top shelf and never leave you with that "don't I have something better to do " feeling. One word of advice, if you have not watched these, find an accurate list and watch them in order. We did not, but will the next time. And there will be a next time.
