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?
I liked Battle Creek. It was a little at first, by the end of the year, it was better then most.
Please bring it back. it has promises then ANY reality show .
I totally enjoyed Battle Creek and I watched every episode. I really hoped it would be renewed.
Please bring it back.
YES,,,,,, PLEASE bring it back !!!!!
I’m sorely disappointed that the TV show Battle Creek was not picked up for another season. I thoroughly enjoyed it !! The episodes seemed very plausible and the ensemble of actors was excellent (JMO). Add the dysfunctional functionality of Russ and Milt,, and
“you” had some terrifically hilarious moments!! The nitwit,,,,oops network executives couldn’t see this ????
I LOVED this show! The writing was crisp and funny, and serious when it needed to be. The characters were really great and interacted perfectly. The casting was perfect. I loved “Mayhem” especially. He was the character who didn’t want to always conform and his FBI partner was always so precise. Great juxtapositions! CBS….PLEASE, PLEASE BRING IT BACK!
I was looking forward for the up coming season of Battle Creek. I’m very disappointed that you chose to cancel the series.
Abso freakin lutely loved it!
I liked it a lot. Bring it back.
Soo sorry this show got axed.
It was really good!
Especially mayhem!
I really liked this show. I was hoping it would return in the fall.
I just watched the last three episodes that I still had on my DVR, and it still excites me the way it did back in May. I love this series, and would love for it to be renewed. Or at least released onto DVD so I can own it. The writing is tight and multi-leveled, and the characters are interesting individuals, not cardboard cutouts. Why can’t we see this quality of TV any more?
My husband and I enjoyed Battle Creek and watched every episode. I am so disappointed that it will not be returning. There is very little that we are watching on TV because we don’t like most of the shows. These fake reality shows like “survivor” and “Bachelor” and all the others are so dumb. I’d rather read a book .
No Battle Creek should not have been cancelled.
i like this show, it deserves another season or more. please bring it back
Really liked this show. Please bring it back.
