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?
Ditto the previous comments: the ensemble cast is excellent, the stories are well developed and interesting. The problem is that Battle Creek requires one’s attention and thought unlike the mindless sitcoms and cookie cutter procedurals that are so prevalent on the mainstream networks. I hope Battle Creek gets picked up by one of the more sophisticated cable/satellite/streaming networks.
One of the few good shows worth watching! How are these decisions made?
This is one of the best shows on t.v. I’m not sure how shows like “2 Broke Girls” stay on and Battlecreek is cancelled. The whole cast is great and so is the writing. I’m not sure whose opinions the networks rely on for their decisions. I hope another would pick the show up.
This is one of the freshest show out there. Enjoyed it very much so naturally they cancel it.
Please renew Battle Creek!!!!! My wife and I love this show and look forward to watching it each week. We have recorded it and watched later to fit our schedule but for the last few episodes we watched it live to make sure we got to see it without worrying about recording mistakes or quality of recording. It is one of the best TV shows we have watched over the years since the 70’s. The characters and their interactions are really interesting, and intriguing. The humor causes us to laugh out loud and each episode is full of surprising twists… Read more »
Each episode got better. Characters and story line were developing. Enjoyed the actors. Hope there is closure. Or don’t cancel!
Bring it back it is funny! I like it alot and it just seems that when I really like a show they take it off! KEEP IT ON!
I really like this show. Please do not cancel it.
CBS, you should have given this one a chance. You have an exceptional ensemble of actors,
great scripts, room for character-development, an hour of entertainment that was a cut above the pedestrian dreck we are constantly subjected to. We only met these
guys in March. Marvels Agents of SHIELD; Star Trek: Next Generation; X-Files;
American Dad and Seinfeld all had first season issues, but went on to long series
runs. This series is worth keeping.
I agree! Please don’t cancel this show! There are very few shows to watch – we never watch reality – UG! Reality is NOT real – too scripted!
We enjoyed every episode. Too bad CBS didn’t give this show a chance. Maybe Netflix would be a better home for it.
Bring back Battle Creek. If I was more internet savvy I would start some on line protest or petition to get the show back. So any Creek fan that is out there and knows more start it.. CBS you suck you keep horrible shows like CSI Cyber but not Battle Creek.
Oh! I hope someone does this for us! I would love to be involved in a petition to get this show TO STAY on air!
Another good show gets cancelled??? I’m so confused…they cancel good shows with good actors and scripts, and renew others than are lacking Any reason to watch beyond its Premiere…they didn’t even give this one a chance…
Please don’t cancel this show! It is one of the best tv shows in a long time
Damn! I really liked this show. I even DVR’d it. I thought the actors were great, script, story lines. It didn’t even have time to really develop. Bone head move.
