... JESSE STONE: BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT
CBS, 9:00 p.m. ET
This is the eighth movie in Tom Selleck’s series of Jesse Stone mystery movies, based on the books by Spenser: for Hire creator Robert B. Parker – and just the fact that these movies still exist, at a time when telemovies on the broadcast networks appear about as often as Westerns, is enough reason to applaud and support their presence. But there’s more, as well, including a Selleck portrayal that, quite intentionally, makes no concessions to younger viewers or modern trends. This is a character study and plot-driven mystery, pure and simple – and all the better for it. Co-stars include Kathy Baker, Gloria Reuben and William Devane.
