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?
Loved Battle Creek. Very disappointed it got cancelled. My friends also watched and are unhappy as well. Think Josh Duhamel (we call him the Mayham guy. From the commercials) and Winter made a funny entertaining pairing. Hope another network picks them up
Dean Winter was the mayhem guy.
We as viewing public get very little intelligent programing to watch. This was a good show like Longmire and The Glades, shows that covered life happenings with wit and humor. But those shows don’t appeal to 35 and under. It is time for network television to step up, we should not have to endure reality drivel all the time.
I don’t understand why Battle Creek was cancelled except maybe because it was advertised so little…..no one knew about the show. The characters are wonderful. So is the story. Please give it another season.
My husband and I looked forward to this show each week. March to May?? Not much of a chance to catch on. Please bring it back.
Will miss this show. A different take on the typical police drama. Deserved a second season.
Great Show!! Hopefully some higher ups will reconsider it as a replacement when some of their new shows bomb.
I love battle creek and think its a big mistake to cancel the show. Dean winter and josh duhamel have such wonderful (anti) chemistry and they have a long way to go! Please don’t cancel the show!
I love this show and I tape it just so I don’t miss it. It started a bit slow but it really got good
and I look forward to Sundays, especially since the Mentalist is gone. Please renew this
show. It was really getting good &the banter between the two main characters was humorous.
Very unhappy with all the “good” shows being cancelled, especially after only one season. I’m really tired of these station execs making decisions that don’t seem to mirror what the public wants. Now I supposed Battle Creek and others will be replaced with more “Reality” TV. More crap! I’m pretty much done with ABC, NBC, and CBS!!
I love this show!! Cannot believe it is being cancelled. Great cast and good plots. What is the deal?
Good show, should be renewed!
Battle Creek – the problem with this show is that the talent is too good! Actors and writing talent. And, none of the characters are alcoholics, dependent on illegal drugs, have to scream a foul word every 3 words, have sexual nudity every 20 minutes. Please bring this show back!
Battle Creek
Please renew this for a 2nd season. This is a great show. A good detective story with humor. The stations calculate too much into the 18-49 group who DO NOT watch TV. We over 50’s suffer for this. Please change your demographics!
Please renew Battle Creek. It is the most refreshing, new show on TV. We love it.
Please uncancel Battle Creek!! This is a great show. It started out a little slow but was great after a few episodes. I looked forward to Sunday night so I could watch this show. Please renew this show.
Great show. Renew!
