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?
This series is more like reality than all those reality shows. It is nice to watch a movie without blood and guts and nudity.
I agree!
I agree, also. Great story line without all the other stuff. A show I can watch with my teens and not be embarrassed by the content!
Disappointed to see that this show has been canceled. Hope Netflix will pick it up. Loved it
Just finished watching the Battle Creek series and was really disappointed that the series was not renewed
It seems like that happens to all the good series. To bad that doesn’t happen to the reality shows that seem to be taking over
i just found it in Netflix, sad to hear it was not renewed ad they never answered the questions of why the FBI agents’ mom won’t talk to him or who got him transferred.
I found this show on Netflix about three weeks ago. After a few episodes, I began searching for the second season. I can not believe that it was canceled. When it is brought back, be sure to do lots of advertising around the CSI programs.
Netflix is first I’ve seen of Battle Creek. Great show. Not perfect but really fun, for 1st two episodes, and great by third and what network doesn’t give fans as well as cast and writers, a full season plus, to respond. You guys are nuts. Unless stars, cast didn’t want to go on, you are really missing a hit series here. AND, like ABC and Black Box which I also came in on late due to lack of network promotion, WHY go to production costs without letting us know these are out there, BEFORE they are cancelled?!
Ditto! Can’t believe that CBS would be this stupid! netflix, you’re up!
Loved the show. Can’t understand why it was cancelled
I really enjoyed this show. The two leads had the perfect chemistry — even tho Russ didn’t like Milt most of the time. Lots of good stuff. I’m disappointed it’s been cancelled.
Bring it back. Great show!! Wonderful camaraderie between and among characters.
Great show, funny, great acting please bring it back
Great actors, writing etc. Bring it back
I just found this show on NEtfix and Iove it. CBS is stupid. In light of the problems in Mich. and especially Flint this could be a very cutting edge show if someone was smart enough to pick it u.
Love this show! Just found it on Netflix… I had never even heard of it before then! They should have advertised for this show more than they did for sure. Wishing they would Bing it back for a second season.
Love this show! They should definitely bring it back!!
