Very good premise soon goes out the door as too many people and a sidebar story come in when the basic idea was more than enough for a two hour program.
Stone has been forced into retirement, but there seems to be trouble with the new chief.
A much older looking Kathy Baker reprises her role as Stone's wife. She still has that frustrated look. It's really time for her to move on from the divorce.
Stone takes it upon himself to investigate the apparent suicide of a young lady he knew. It eventually appears that this was not a suicide, and by the end of the program the killer can barely be detected from the armor he was wearing.
The scenes shown by the classic films-"Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," and "The Bridge on the River Kwai" show that we have to fight for what we believe in. This was really making an over kill over the movie's subject matter.
In short, Tom Selleck-please stick with "Blue Bloods." You've got a winning show there all the way. Time for Jesse Stone to enjoy his retirement.
score 6/10
