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?
We love this show. Love that it is in Michigan. Just getting to know the characters and we are really disappointed?
This is a great show. It is unique give it a chance !!!
I am sorry to hear the series was cancelled. I really enjoyed the show and would like to see it renewed.
CBS will never get people to start watching new shows when you don’t give them a chance! Battle Creek was just starting to develop the characters & I find out tonite is the Series Finale rather than the season finale! This is terribly disappointing & I think if you wanted to cancel a stupid show it should have been CSI Cyber…I think you may have reached the limit of spinoff shows with CSI. Only the original was ever any good!
This is pure stupidity by CBS!!

This is a good show that was not even given a chance. There’s many other shows that keep getting renewed that should have been long gone. Not cool CBS, not cool at all
I agree that Battle Creek is a good show. It is just beginning to get even more interesting, and it is premature to cancel it. It was not given a chance. CBS should reconsider.
I can’t believe this show is being cancelled, give it a chance, I love this show, it is as good as scorpion, with characters that grow on you. and I love russ and holly getting together. come on try some more episodes, or are the writers not smart enough to keep it going?
One of my favorite TV shows; watch it every week. Can’t understand why CBS pulled the show so soon; it appears to be doing great. Please reconsider cancelling Battle Creek !!
Battle Creek is a new refreshing police show. Good mesh of characters and much better than CBS’s NCIS New Orleans. I personally like it better than most of the other police shows on the air. Too bad CBS didn’t give it more of a chance or a better time slot than late Sunday night. Might have done better on Wednesday night.
Loved this show. Refreshingly entertaining. Please consider renewing for next season.
Perhaps a smarter network should pick up this show. I can not believe that this show was cancelled. CBS really dropped the ball .
That does it CBS! Cancelled another new show after one season. I will NOT be watching any new series on your network until I see you have renewed them for a 2nd season! I’m tired of being disappointed. By treating your viewers like they don’t matter it comes back to bite you in the …. eventually.
My husband and I love Battle Creek. Please don’t cancel it. We are your typical baby boomers. I would think this show appeals to a broad audience. Give it another season. Please. The characters are great!
CBS is nuts, blew this call badly. Finally something fresh comes along and thunk! they chop their own toes off. Hopefully a smarter outfit’ll pick it up.
We did not even know about the show till 3rd week and immediately fell in love with it. It’s breaking my and my sister’s hearts. Please reconsider!! The writing is wonderful! Was improving every week. The characters are getting better and better as the writing gets better. I can promise you. I will NEVER watch SUPERGIRL!! How about putting Hawaii 50 on Sunday. And put Battle Creek before or after Blue Bloods? I NEVER watch any NCIS shows! Or CSI! Used to watch Criminal Minds, but stopped. I said I could not watch 1 more of them. So disturbing and… Read more »
My husband and I are so tired of you executives canceling shows before they have a chance. There is a whole group of us older ones up here in Virgina that loved that show. Oh, that’s right. I forgot we don’t count! Only teens and young adults are important in this world!
