I have always loved Tom Selleck from his ‘Magnum’ days and I was really happy to see him ‘again’ in the Jesse Stone series. It’s good stuff!

“Innocents Lost is coming on CBS this evening. I’m a Selleck/Stone/Bluebloods fan myself. ;o)

I’ve mostly been going through series I never watched when they were prime time: Nip/Tuck, Heroes, Roswell, etc....I think it’s better when you can see them from start to finish than hang on each week.

But, Jesse Stone is old. I’ve seen all of them at least 4 times! When are we going to have a new story?

Based on a series of books by Robert B Parker.

Same guy who wrote ‘spenser for hire’

Very good reads.

It's difficult to find quality entertainment on Netflix streaming.

I've been very dissapointed in the limited choices. Thinking of cancelling subscription.

Tom Selleck as Jesse Stone, small town cop.

If Selleck manages a believable performance at this, I will never question his acting ability again.

I’ve watched Jesse Stone, the old Magnum PI TV shows, Sherlock Holmes series from the 80s, I like the British TV shows. I wish Netflix had more shows from the 80s. Remember The Equalizer?

I like how we support good guy Tom Selleck rather than giving liberals free press. This thread is magnificent! Go Tom, Blue Bloods, and Jesse Stone.

These are great movies, all based on the same character. It's a slow pace, no stupid car chases and no explosions. Just character development and story. Refreshing.

BTW, watched "War Horse" this morning. Outstanding. One of the key scenes, where a boy gets the horse to pull a plow and plow a field, was shot with an actor (and a few bystanders), a horse, and a field. And it was incredibly touching. But the cavalry charge against the German camp was great, too.

"Anybody got any other favorites on Netflix streaming?"

Been watching Murder She Wrote, which I never watched when it was originally on. I'm also re-watching Dark Shadows, although the beginning episodes (prior to Barnabas) haven't made it to live streaming yet. I'm assuming they are coming though, because they used to offer these episodes via disc, but now those aren't even available. They did the same thing with McMillan and wife. I had begun to get those discs, but then they were no longer available. I recently discovered they'd been put on live-streaming, and have been watching them.

Some series that I've enjoyed from Netflix, but aren't available on live-streaming are "Wallandar" starring Kenneth Branagh. Netflix has Season 1, but not season 2 yet. They are presently filming season 3.

Also, a British detective production titled: Jonathan Creek. Seasons 1-4 are available.

Blue Murder is another British detective series starring Caroline Quentin, who also starred in the Jonathan Creek series. There's four seasons in this series. Part is offered on live-streaming, the rest on DVD.

If you like period productions, Garrow's Law is a good series. It's about an 18th Century barrister. Stories are based on the real cases of William Garrow. There are three seasons of this series. The first two are available via disc on Netflix.

If one has a smart TV, can go on Youtube and download many movies, some the same as Netflix streaming and more than a few cannot get on Netflix. I was surprised at how many and how recently released movies can be had from Youtube for free.

To down load on smart TV, get the “Web Videos” app, then use the free Flingo program to fling them to Web Videos.

When Flinging, have the Web Videos app open on TV, they will then go there instantly.

I have several movies and videos stored in Web Videos queue.

For something completely different try Trailer Park Boys.

Try this one, “ The Conspirator”

It factually follows the military tribunal trial of Mary Surratt as it actually happened, which was a travesty of justice. It shows how absolute power, absolutely corrupts the constitution.

This gripping drama follows the efforts of a young lawyer to defend a Confederate sympathizer accused of conspiring to assassinate Abraham Lincoln.

Stone Cold, Night Passage, Death in Paradise, Sea Change, Thin Ice, No Remorse and Innocents Loss.

I usually buy Selleck. Amazon has the first six Jesse Stones available here http://www.amazon.com/Collection-Remorse-Change-Passage-Paradise/dp/B003VIWSA8/ref=sr_1_9?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1337541725&sr=1-9

Innocents Lost is not one of the six, nor this new one.
