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?
Don’t understand why, after only 13 episodes, CBS cancelled this. At least give it a chance with another season or more episodes. Must be whoever decides these things is under 40 and has no patience. I remember when they were going to cancel Criminal Minds after the 1st season but decided to give it another to build a following. And now it’s in what, season 10. The characters were different, it was funny, and was enjoyable to watch. These TV execs these days just don’t have a clue what people want. They think we all want reality or these dumb… Read more »
Love this show! Please don’t cancel.
My family enjoyed this show, it sucks that it was cancelled! I had a bad feeling CBS would not renew it, it was too good of a show! They never keep the good one! 🙁
I’m disappointed that a wonderfully entertaining show like Battle Creek is cancelled.
I am sad to hear it was cancelled, and a bit disgusted. Battle Creek was interesting, intelligent, poignant and funny. I was disgusted to see it has been cancelled and a horror show about zoo animals will be given a chance. I don’t know the details, the economics behind the scenes, what I do know is my use of CBS will shrink now to Good Wife and Elementary and occasionally NCIS. But then, the first episode, i had a feeling it was doomed. I liked it. Enough to mention it, in conversation and suggested others watch it. Nearly any show… Read more »
Bring back Battle Creek! This is what people want – good characters, recognizable settings, believable stories… And no silly superheroes! Bring it back, we implore you!
RENEW- NEW AND DIFFERENT- TO MUCH LAW STUFF TO MUCH HOSPITAL JAR . ENOUGH KEEP THIS PLEASE
Please, please do not cancel this show !!! The best new show this year and SO different from the usual cop show. It is well written, well acted, serious but with humour to keep us smiling. Our family loves it. Please reconsider and give it another season !
I really liked Battle Creek and think it should have been given a second season and a chance to catch on with viewers. This was a quirky show but very interesting. All the actors are talented and we need shows that are a little different from the standard.
I cannot believe CBS did not renew Battle Creek, it is an awesome show. Its funny and “Psych” funny. Hopefully one of the cable networks will get smart and pick up the rights to this really good show.
I loved this show and am frustrated it was cancelled. I would love to see it continues.
Really like Russ !
I LOVED BATTLECREEK, SORRY IT IS CANCELLED
This is just crazy! A great show that should definitely be renewew.
We LOVED Battle Creek and can’t believe it was canceled. There is so much bad TV and this was such a great show. The writing was great and the characters were awesome. Don’t understand why it is being cancelled!
