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 totally agree with all of the above. Where is intelligence going? I am sick and tired of reality shows, zombies, etc. Evidently TV networks are working only for the “don’t make me think” crowd. Really upset.
This was a really good show. I was sad to see it was cancelled, hopefully they will change there minds and renew for another season.
CBS puts this show on at 10pm sunday night and then wonders why they don’t have higher ratings, considering that they have crap show like 2 broke girls, mom and other reality shows in prime spots. Give this show a chance. It is good, frankly better than NCIS New Orleans and NCIS LA.
As seasoned watchers of all three NCIS’s, Criminal Minds and Person of Interest, we felt our senses were pretty sophisticated toward figuring out the various likely scenarios during any episode of a similar show. (E.g., this option is too obvious; this is a red herring; that person is SO not threatening so he’s probably the bad guy; etc.). But last night’s finale caught us totally off guard from beginning to end. After Milt got shot we turned to each other in disbelieving shock, which quickly turned into a high-five when it appeared he was going to be all right. Way… Read more »
This was a really good show. It’s getting harder to get attached to a TV series because there is always a chance that they will get cancelled. Why even have all these channels when there is nothing good on anymore? How many reality shows will be shoved down our throats?! Battle Creek will be thoroughly missed in our house…. 🙁
I completely agree seems like anything that might take a hint of thought process to watch.. gets cancelled while all the lame reality shows stay put.. Wish they would change their minds on this one.
I hope a cable channel considers carrying on this show. Even better, they should reconsider canceling it all together. I think it’s following would grow. It got better each week.
This is a great show. Very disappointed that it’s canceled. Usually CBS is good about keeping a winner of a show. Wish they would reconsider.
I love this show. I want to see more.
This last show on May 24th showing was terrific! It kept me engaged the whole time. I can’t believe they are going to cancel it. Please think again about that decision.
Please don’t cancel this show. It is really entertaining. The characters are great.!! PLEASE renew this show.
WTH????!!!
I finally hook up with a rebel drama filled with a eclectic mix of amazing actors, great writing and plots only to find that it’s being cancelled. WTH????!!!
The acerbic chemistry between the characters is what makes thus show.
It’s not your average,
“Let’s do this together, because we respect each other” dynamic.
That’s what make this so successesful.
Do yourselves a favor, CBS.
Keep this show and you’ll keep a whole lot of us happy!
It is crazy that this show was cancelled! Great story line, diverse cast, and all around entertaining. How can shows like The Bachelor survive and this get cancelled? Crazy!!!
Really enjoyed this show! Was looking forward to how they were going to develop the characters. Frustrating to get into a new show and then have CBS cancel it. Bring it back!
Loved this show. Hopefully another network can pick it up…
So disappointed to see Series Cancelled in the listing for Battle Creek! We were so enjoying the smart, witty and funny writing and acting that made for enjoyable tv viewing. So tired of all the reality show crap that continues instead of thoughtful, well acted shows. I’ll turn tv off before watching that. Hope the great cast and writers know it’s not their fault. Maybe the powers that be will reconsider.
