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?
A very cool show. Dark humor played really well by the entire cast. Some might say sick humor but so what? Improbable situations, questionable ambitions and strange conversations. Watched it stoned…loved it. Hope it’s renewed.
LOVE this show! We all hope it isn’t cancelled. It took a couple episodes to get the feel of it, but once we got the lay of the land, we love it! We’re ages 65 to 21 – all of us watch it. Other than Grimm, this is the only show we all agree on.
I am a dean winters fan, but I have to say the rest of the cast is right up there. I am hooked, keep it on…
I love this show! Do not cancel
Love battle creek. Please renew the series
Battle Creek is a wonderful show. It reminds me of early Northern Exposure and Due South, both which had some great wit and understatement. I would be very disappointed if it were canceled.
I love this show. It’s quirky, witty, entertaining and and has a great ensemble cast. I wish it was on in a better time frame.
This seems so odd to have a show about Battle Creek! It was taken over by Kelloggs who tore down buildings and built a shrine for themselves! My family had the first grocery store, started the gas company, the lumber company, the bus company, built most of the major buildings, etc. They are all dead now, but I think they would be amused.
Since we live near Battle Creek were intrigued and watched the first episode out of curiosity. We were hooked! Of course Dean Winters makes the show. To cancel would be tragic.
Love this show and it’s characters. The time slot is poor but we love to watch this drama/comedy. Wonderful not so intense but just a great written series. Don’t cancel it is one of the better series out there to watch. This is one that is our to go to series to watch first. Keep a good thing going.
I love this show! I am officially addicted now. It was a slow start but the cast is fantastic. Not your ordinary cop show. also I grew up in BC so a bit prejudice. They even pronounced Goguac Lake correctly. Do not cancel! It has great potential. Needs another time slot though.
I love the variety of characters and the humor. Good combination of murder mystery and comedy.
I love this show. It’s great – funny, clever, smart, entertaining – almost like another Boston Legal. It’s scheduled at a terrible day & time – Sunday at 10:00 & being delayed because of sports, etc. If it had a better time slot, it would be a hit. Please don’t cancel this show.
Please don’t cancel this show. Its very funny and entertaining!
love it
