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?
dumb to cancel. joyed it
At first this show was, eh but it grew on me and now I love it. Please give it another chance! I love Dean Winters!
please do not cancel this show
don’t cancel this show….one of my favorites!!!!
Battle Creek is a great show. It needs time for more millions to discover it. PLEASE DON’T CANCEL THIS entertaining, well written show!
Best show in years–do not cancel!
This is a great show!! Please don’t cancel it. It gets better with every week. Great characters–it barely had enough time to pick up viewers and it’s in a crappy time slot. Dean Winter and Josh Duhamel have great chemistry. The supporting cast works well–that’s hard to find.
I’m incredibly disappointed that CBS cancelled this show. The characters are well developed and unique. The writing is engaging. I don’t think people have found this show yet …maybe another time slot. I know the ratings have not been the best, but other shows have had slow beginnings to later rise to the top. I wish the powers that be would have given this show legs for a second season.
Renew, just hitting their stride.
Should not have been cancelled..it was fun to watch and a little fun is not such a bad thing.
This is good show that will get better! It’s on at a time, where there is nothing else on anyway! Leave it at that time slot?
I loved it! Sorry it isn’t coming back!!
Love it so much! Should be renewed!
Our favorite network blew this one. Battle Creek is a great show, with everything going for it. So fun and enjoyable, great scripts, cast, stories. Just a good hour of entertainment, without giving you a headache. We really looked forward to it. We knew they would cancel it, because of the dumb time slot; it was set up for failure. And yet they kept Cyber, which requires a dictionary to decipher the script. No one will listen, but Battle Creek deserved better than they got. Hope Netflix or someone else picks it up!
Amen to everything you said. Plus, fingers crossed about another network or some other outlet like Netflix seeing it for what it is – a gem with heart.
RENEW…DON’T CXL….A REALLY GOOD SHOW.
