Last night, CBS replayed the fourth made-for-television movie in the Jesse Stone series, Sea Change. These movies are undoubtedly some of the best adaptations of a mystery series ever filmed and though we'd seen it the first time in May, we couldn't help but watch it again. (It is not yet available on DVD.)
Tom Selleck doesn't just play the character of Jesse Stone in these movies, Tom Selleck becomes Jesse Stone. Robert B. Parker, the author of the Jesse Stone series of mystery novels, has said on his blog that, though the character in his books is much younger than that portrayed by Selleck, "Tom nails the character." Selleck was nominated for an Emmy this year for his portrayal of Jesse Stone in Sea Change.
The first three movies in the series, Stone Cold, Night Passage, and Death in Paradise are available individually on DVD or may be purchased together as the Jesse Stone Movie Collection. A fifth movie, Thin Ice, is currently in production and is the first not to be based on one of the books in the series.
