blanche-2 Poor Jesse is up to his neck in trouble with the Town Council - big surprise - when he and his friend State Homicide Commander Healy (Stephen McHattie) are shot at during an unofficial stakeout on a Boston street. Healy is badly injured. Boston Police Internal Affairs investigates.As long as they're angry with him, Jesse fires the department's biggest ticket writer and also fixes the sign so that drivers aren't fooled into going the wrong speed.Then the woman appears looking for her missing child from several years earlier, and Jesse agrees to look into it. Kathy Baker and Kohl Sudduth appear in this episode as well as William Devane as Jesse's psychiatrist, Dr. Dix. I think these are good movies, some better than others. As I've written a million times I am a big fan of Tom Selleck's but there are more levels to Jesse than he's able to portray. He has great ability, but his talents are in another direction. I can certainly understand that he wants to do something different, though.

yikess62 ... on its own this one in the series is good; different of course, but good. some changes are blatant of course, molly and d'angelo. but still has that small town, big city cop feel. it moves the series along just enough, without being silly or indulgent. parallels and parables still tag teaming in the storyline. which works well. i enjoy this series very much, it will eventually standup well against the test of other cop shows that have come before it. Selleck is great, and so is the whole cast, including the antagonistic others(city council). i'll sum up this series like this... after a long day its good to be cozy in ur favorite chair and sweats, flipping on the electronic device of choice and finding some new twist or beat that seemed not there before, and relishing it anew, once again.

goldenstar2 I must differ from the previous reviews of this movie, in my opinion it is just awful. I had the misfortune of watching a Jesse Stone movie last year and had hoped that the 2009 version may be a little more entertaining but was very disappointed. Tom Selleck, who is one of my favourite actors, looks like a human version of my grandmother's Bassett Hound, all sad and droopy, I hoped a dog-catcher would spot him and take him away permanently. His character is so wrapped up in his alcoholic misery it cast a depressing pall over the story. "Joe the Dog" was without a doubt the star of the show, I hope he was digging Jesse Stone's grave beside the sea shore! The movie has one really great benefit, you do not have to take a sleeping aid the night you watch.

k-idol In addition to the problems stated in previous reviews, some of the dialog seems stripped (in its exact form) from previous episodes. Old characters that once provided meaning and added to mood now just seem like familiar on-screen forms. What was spare and inviting the first time around just seems lazy now. I think what is missing is a compelling story.And I really miss Molly.I like the characters and the setting so much that I was willing to watch Thin Ice but I would not have been encouraged to watch other episodes had this been my first contact with the series.
