TV WORTH WATCHING: BEST BETS SUNDAY, MAY 20, 2012


... 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.

... Jesse Stone: Benefit of the Doubt

9-11 PM CBS


The eighth of Tom Selleck's Jesse Stone TV movies has the hard-drinking recluse putting on his police-chief baseball cap once again — this time because he's replacing the chief who was murdered in the opening moments. Stone (based on a character created by the late novelist Robert B. Parker) investigates, when he's not too busy with his tough-love therapist (William Devane), his lover (Gloria Reuben), and even his dog. There are those who find the Stone movies slow; we who love them, however, revel in the measured way Selleck and co-writer Michael Brandman play out the suspense, and prize Stone's phlegmatic stubbornness.

TV GUIDE: Weekend TV: Sherlock and Jesse Stone; Finale Fever

May 18, 2012
by Matt Roush


... On the other end of the crime-solving spectrum is CBS' Jesse Stone, the Eeyore of disgraced police chiefs, a melancholy loner so detached from time he plays old movies on his VHS. And yet you always know, when he tackles crime in the sleepy seaside town of Paradise, Mass., that he's the smartest, coolest and possibly even sexiest guy in the room.

That's because he's being played with somber authority for the eighth time in Benefit of the Doubt (Sunday, 9/8c), by Tom Selleck, who inhabits this tailor-made role like it's well-worn denim — or, in this case, the police department ball cap he's allowed to sport again. An explosive murder forces the town leaders to invite Jesse back to the now-deserted office, which his trusted deputies (Kathy Baker, Kohl Sudduth) have left for various reasons.

When the investigation hints at possible corruption in the department during Jesse's time away, he's not the only one to note, "A cop deserves the benefit of the doubt." So does Jesse Stone, whose TV-movie franchise is the last of its kind on network TV. These movies are so languid they often feel designed for those who can't keep up with the electrifying pace of The Killing. But they can be as engrossing in their own quiet, unforced way as Sherlock's more flamboyant exploits...

... Jesse Stone: Innocents Lost

9-11 PM CBS

Tom Selleck's brooding, boozing police chief is without a job in the seventh Jesse Stone TV movie, replaced by a pompous fool who's too easy a target for this deft franchise. Plus there's too little of Kathy Baker as Jesse's partner-in-policing. But the plot — a girl with ties to Jesse's past is murdered — is a solid one. And Selleck knows how to play Jesse's alcoholic depression without becoming a tragic bummer. But when he says, "I'm in a dead zone," you know he's not just talking cell reception. This hero needs help.
