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 thought the show was great! Funny and yet good drama. Sorry they cancelled it. I enjoyed it. It was different and therefore enjoyable. They never listen to us.
This is a great show. You out it in a sucky time slot. Please don’t cancel
Really enjoying the show. What happened? Why cancled? Bring it back please.
I have never voiced an opinion on a show cancelled until now. I’m disheartened that Battle Creek was cancelled. My husband even watched the show and he rarely watches any series shows.
Why cancel such a good show!! It just started and I thought it was a great show. Please reconsider and renew the series. It was just getting really good. Gosh!!!
🙁 🙁 🙁 seriously! Love battle creek & all its characters! We are getting so tired of enjoying a good tv show that isn’t a reality show & then it gets cancelled. What’s wrong with TV, way too many stupid reality shows & not enough good sitcoms. Very sad it’s over.
What a great show. Instead of following a predictable formula the writers gave us characters it would take time to get to know as they got to know each other. What a wonderful ride with an amazing cast and characters it is easy to care about. Whenever there is a show with any class that makes you think and is relationship driven and doesn’t beat you over the head with loud car chases and predictable plots—guaranteed they will be cancelled. Really sad.
Battle Creek is a great show! It’s better than Madam Secretary and other shows. Keep Battle Creek! It has a good storyline. It keeps you wondering what’ going to happen next. What is the new case?
This show truly has potential to be very popular. The actors are amazing and CBS is so lucky to have them! I really can’t believe, out of all of the absolutely abysmal shows on television, this is the one that is getting the axe. Surely one of your awful reality shows could be sacrificed… So lame.
I can Not believe CBS has cancelled Battle Creek … How about cancel some reality shows I stead …. These actors were just starting to Gel and what do you do but pull the plug …. Give them a chance !
I have enjoyed and watched the show from the beginning. It makes me terribly sad that shows are not allowed the time to find their way and build their audiences any more. I include this show in that category. To my mind , some of the best shows that have come along in recent years were cancelled early on. I don’t take comfort any more that more good shows will come along or that the cast will land on other shows. It just feels like a very unfair situation to the cast and crew and to the audiences. I am… Read more »
Please don’t cancel this show! The chemistry between these characters is just starting to develop and there’s a lot to come! Lots to think about and want to look forward to more to come. Please give them a chance!
Sad to see a great show canceled when it wasn’t given a chance.
Come on CBS …. I’m tired of reality shows …. Cancel some of those but keep this one … It’s Awesome and getting good …. All the actors are just starting to Gel !!!!! KEEP THIS SHOW !!!! Thank you …. Julie
A really fine, offbeat show. Not the typical mush. Should be saved….
