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?
Battle Creek was worth saving. Not all good shows need to be NYC based.
They always cancel the decent shows and keep the blood, and sex shows.
We have been trying to find Battle Creek again for over a month, just found out it was cancelled. Guess it was too good for CBS…not reality show or fantasy football. they never gave it a chance and didn’t promote it.
Battle Creek should be back on the air. They did a great job with a new twist. Not like most shows
I feel the same, the show had great writers, experienced actors, Russ wins the girl (that was HOT !!! ) learning pieces of Mitt’s secret (very enticing ) It’s like being only able to read the first 2 chapters of a great novel and some jerk grabs it from you and destroyed it right in front of you and there is NO copy !!!
The show had great potential …. Just needed a little time.
renew this show CBS. Don’t be stupid. what have you got in this slot that does better. Nothing!!!! go figure
Battle Creek should be renewed.
I thought the show was great and very entertaining- Josh Duhamel and Dean Winters worked well together good chemistry.Should had at least a shot for a second season.
I really enjoyed the show, and wish it had not been cancelled.
I really enjoyed “battle creek”. It was a refreshing break from reality shows and very explicit gore on crime dramas.
This was a great program. My wife and I both loved it. Cancelled – that’s crazy.
Me and my wife enjoyed the show. It deserved a second season.
Very good show – why was it cancelled?
I think show should have been renewed, CBS did not give show half a chance as usual.
