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 this series. Acting and script were great. Can’t believe it has been canceled. Even my grand children loved the series!!
My husband and I have loved Battle Creek including our children and grand children. Can’t believe it is canceled. Would like to know why!! The script is great. Acting great. PLEASE renew it.
Dam you…get a good show, not one of those stupid reality shows and you go and cancel it. way to go sumb asses
Should not have been cancelled. Intelligent fun and totally entertaining. Canceling, not a bright move.
My husband and I loved watching Battle Creek and were saddened to hear it had been canceled. This was a show with great writing, fun and unique characters, and relevant storylines. Too bad “old” people don’t seem to have a voice anymore.
Please rethink canceling thus show. The dynamics between two main characters was terrific to watch. Bad decision to cancel.
Hesitant to watch first show. But once I watched, I was hooked. Love the characters; love the writing. The network should consider giving it another chance. The show was good, clean fun!
Battle Creek was a perfect combination of drama and humor. Colorful characters we have not seen before. My wife and I both loved the show!! It was so well written. Most stories had unexpected plot twists that made it even more interesting. You have to find a way to bring it back.
renewed – definitely
THE ONLY show I looked forward to watching this season.
Great show!
BRING IT BACK!
PLEASE BRING IT BACK!! SHAME ON CBS for canceling a good program. I sure hope another network will pick it up!
Loved this show! So upset that has been cancelled! Please bring it back!
I thought Battlecreek was a funny and refreshing show at the 10:00 hour on Sundays.
I thought it was a fabulous vehicle for Dean Winters.
CBS, I’m deeply disappointed!
