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?
Great show renew!
I am sorry the series was canceled . It had a must mixture of the negative reality of being in law enforcement mixed with humor. The main characters were flawed but like able. I thought the acting was as good as other series that have made it past one season . Perhaps the setting was not glamorous enough bring a smaller city in Michigan known for inventing cereal which is ONLY a main staple in many people’s diets! Humph!
I am proud of that city being a Michigander . Sorry to see the series failed!
Such a great / witty show. The characters had tremendous chemistry. PLEASE re-considered it’s demise!!!! Reality Shows stay?????? What’s up with that?????
Networks seem to have a penchant for canceling really good shows. CBS didn’t give Battle Creek a chance. And, yes, of course, they kept reality shows; this is entertainment preferred by young people with short attention spans who have to be texting while semi-watching TV. I like to actually watch TV, enjoy the character interaction, plot developments, storylines, humor, etc and an hour series is not too much for my mind to handle.
Wife and I loved the show. Bring it back!!!!!
What did you expect putting it on right after the Good Wife. If you weren’t already hooked on the Good Wife why would you stick around to watch a new show. Pt it back on in a decent time slot. This was a very entertaining show. It deserves a better shot!
Come on you put these show on and then take them off and then you cancelled them on us get real
I finally found a tv series I liked! I told everyone I know to watch it. And now I find out it’s CANCELLED!? And NCI-Fracking-S is renewed?!
Where is the justice in this world? Please say some right-thinking cable or streaming network have bought the rights and Season 2 is on the way
I just finished BINGE watching, loved it and I agree, it is so clever, loved all the actors. Had to get onto the net to find out when to watch season 2.
So sorry to read that it had been cancelled!!! Why? I agree with the comments especially Christina shadwell, Patty and Ginny.
