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?
OMG- I am so mad. I love Battle Creek. Is it cancelled to make room for one more CSI or NCIS or one more show that forces us to see camera zoom-ins on mutilated dead bodies or live people being tortured, before being murdered? Finally, an entertaining and smart new show comes along and CBS cancels it without giving it a chance to build an audience. I’m really annoyed. But I’m glad I finally figured out why Dean Winters looked so familiar (mayhem!). CBS, if you’re listening, PLEASE bring this show back!
I loved Battle Creek too. Sunday night is a hard time slot to debut a new series. This show was so much more fun than so many others. It definitely deserves another season!
We LOVE this show and are saddened that it was canceled.
It should have been given at least one more season!
This was a great show…It deserves another shot!
Our entire family watches and absolutely LOVES this program! So do most of our friends. When we can’t be here to watch it, we record it. Why on earth would CBS not give it a second chance? It’s clean, it’s family-friendly (which is not something to be said about most stuff on TV these days), and it’s funny. Unfortunately, not any of that can be said about most offerings, even on CBS. AND . . . this show is different. Most of today’s shows are just a remake of the show on the next hour. We hope CBS will reconsider.… Read more »
I think Battle Creek deserves 2nd season. It is funny, interesting, and I enjoy the characters.
What a disappointment from CBS.
I loved this show. Please don’t cancel!
Great show. Entertaining. Very disappointed it was cancelled. Really enjoyed the characters on the show.
I really liked Battle Creek. I love the relationship between Josh and Dean…..very sad to see that it has been cancelled.
We just started watching Battle Creek and really enjoyed it. Just found out a couple of weeks ago that it has been canceled and we do not understand why. If it didn’t catch on, it’s possible CBS did not promote it enough. It was very entertaining, great story lines, and great actors. I wish CBS would reconsider and give it a second chance and promote it properly.
Battle Creek is edgy, bright, fantastic, good story line, with good character development. Why this show would go when shows spotting trivia are still on the air is beyond me. The time slot was not great but it did get a following and I believe it would have increased if given a chance.
I thought the story lines were improving by the end of the show. The problem was the writers not the characters, they were great!
Battle Creek is the most entertaining show to come down the pike in a very long time. PLEASE DO NOT cancel this show! It deserves another season!!!
We really liked this show. The characters were well developed and really well acted. This was a smart drama with great comedic timing and I want it back!!!
I loved the show. It was funny and I enjoyed the characters.
