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?
This is a great show.
I loved this show. CBS is stupid to cancel this definitely well crafted show
Good grief! Every time good scripts, meet a great cast/team, with just the right mix of irony, drama and scenarios—you dumpster it? Bring it back-fast! Alaska grandma
Please don’t cancel. Such a great show!
I was both surprised and saddened to hear of the demise of another great TV series. Battle Creek was both quirky and original. Even my son who is not a fan of the police genre liked this TV series. For the life of me I don’t understand what is wrong with these networks. There are so many really bad shows kept season after season not to mention the proliferation of reality shows that should have been shot down in flames a long time ago. I agree with what someone else said earlier, ‘when I really like something it does seem… Read more »
Just started watching this show and it is so much better than most of the stuff CBS is keeping. Very disappointed. Not many shows on this network worth the time and they get rid of one that was interesting.
Please don’t cancel the show! I really like this show. It’s awesome!!!!
We are disappointed that this really great show is being cancelled. I hope they reconsider.
Was a great show, both my husband and I liked. Please reconsider and above all do not replace with another reality show. This just is another reason to find a different channel.
I cannot believe Battle Creek was canceled! It was relaxing, entertaining, and a great series. So sorry to hear that!
PLEASE bring it back!!!
Seems like the good shows are always cancelled! I hate that! This show had really good acting, story lines and humor. You keep the really stupid sitcoms on and take off any show with some character and depth to it
This was a great show. Please renew!
While I recognized that this show was basically a copy of “Due South” in concept, I enjoyed the show as I did the other. The characters were beginning to fill out and there was generally a good storyline. I am very disappointed that this show will be cancelled. There are many other shows that should be cancelled. Why this one?
Please don’t cancel. Give it a chance.
