Mrs Cycleboy and I have been watching the TV adaptations of Robert B Parker's Jesse Stone novels starring Tom Selleck. They've been on C5 over the last few months, though they've been showing them out of order, so characters come back from the dead occasionally! Aside from that, I've been very impressed; Tom Selleck is very good – surprisingly so – as the, yep, grizzled alcoholic big-city cop who's working in a small Maine town.
I think they capture the spirit of the novels pretty well – I'm a big fan of the late, great RBP – the cinematography is great, the music excellent. The pace can be pedestrian but that never worries me. Most recommended.
