TV show description:
A drama, this TV series revolves around two mismatched law enforcement officers. They have polar opposite views of the world and (possibly) a grudging respect for each other’s abilities as they clean up the streets of Battle Creek, Michigan.
Detective Russ Agnew (Dean Winters) is a good but gruff and hard-boiled detective. He’s had his world turned upside down when strikingly handsome and charismatic Special Agent Milton Chamberlain (Josh Duhamel) opens an FBI field office at the police station — and he chooses Russ to be his partner.
Milt’s polished sophistication and access to unlimited state-of-the-art equipment is impressive to his new co-workers in the absurdly underfunded department.
The pair work long hours together in the economically distressed city and it remains to be seen if Milt’s charm and endless supply of high-end resources or Russ’s old-fashioned cynicism, guile and deception will be the keys to catching the bad guys.
Other characters include Commander Guziewicz (Janet McTeer), Detective Fontanelle White (Kal Penn), Holly Dale (Aubrey Dollar), and Aaron Funkhauser (Edward Fordham, Jr.).
Episode #13 — Sympathy for the Devil
Milt survives a car bombing and enlists Russ to track down his would-be assassin, leading to startling revelations as to why Milt is the way he is and what brought him to Battle Creek.
First aired: May 24, 2015.
What do you think? Do you like the Battle Creek TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season instead?
I loved Battle Creek. A little quirky but not to the extent of Psych. I like the characters and hate that it was cancelled.
I just binge watched this on Netflix, and I agree with all past comments. Really witty, great cast, with twists and turns. So much better than a lot of shows on right now. It’s too bad this didn’t get picked up by Netflix three years ago after CBS pulled the plug.
Watched all 13 episodes in one week/weekend with my teenagers. I did not know there wasn’t another season or I would not have watched it. I loved the storyline and the characters. Please bring it back. Please make another season. Thank you.
Just watched all 13 episodes. I’m stunned that it was not extended for a second season
It was a great show.
It was a great show – wonderful story trope and acting- can’t believe it was cancelled
I totally agree! Netflix has Season One, wish some network would continue this series
Really enjoyed the tv show “Battle Creek” . It takes time to get to know the characters and CBS cancelled too soon, in my opinion. Would have love to see another season.
Please someone make another season. There are lots of loose ends and stories left to tell.
One of the very few shows all 4 members of my family enjoyed watching. Two girls and a wife and we all were disappointed when it was taken off.
Watched entire 1st season on Netflix. They should bring it back.
Just watched entire season on Netflix-really enjoyed the storylines, characters and interactions. Appreciated there was no need for profanity or extreme violence but still had subtle innuendos with humor also. A great series, wish Netflix would pick it up & produce more seasons.
Bring it back. Bring it back.
This show is awesome. I can not believe they cancelled it. I was witty and well written. Please bring it back.
This is really sad and frustrating. The characters personalities were unique and their acting was great. The network might have kept the series if there would have been a sub-plot involving a corporation bent on taking over the city and poisoning the world using the cereal to spread terror and mind control. While promoted by singing gangsters from Detroit selling sex and drugs who were actually from another world. I bet that would have been something the network would have though we wanted to watch. This was a good detective series but I guess it wasn’t diverse enough or gory… Read more »
Well said Holly. I’ve been think about Battle Creek lately. What a great show, so much better than the new 2016/2017 shows. Bring it back. The cast and writing was magical .
