The jaded Det. Russ Agnew reluctantly partners with charming FBI agent Milt Chamberlain to solve a drug-related double homicide in the premiere of this drama, which follows their rocky relationship as they employ very different tactics when solving crimes in the down-and-out-streets of Battle Creek, Mich.
Milt and Russ go undercover as distillers to solve the murder of a victim drowned in maple syrup; at the same time, Font wages his own personal war against his medical-marijuana provider.
Cookie the police dog sniffs out a stash of heroin in a little girl's backpack, leading Russ and Milt to search for evidence to back their competing theories as to where the drugs came from and why she had them. Elsewhere, Jacocks does some digging into the reason Milt has been sent to Battle Creek while she's in Detroit for a training seminar.
The murder of a local waitress is investigated by Russ and Milt, who pit the skills of their crime-solving police dogs against each other as they work the case. Meanwhile, Russ decides to employ a new tactic to get Milt to admit what has brought him to Battle Creek.
Cdr. Guziewicz narrowly escapes when her house is burned down by an unknown arsonist. As the Battle Creek Police Department investigate, Russ and Milt question a variety of suspects, including a string of ex-lovers and the commander's own estranged son. Meanwhile, Russ is determined to find out who sent Holly a gift.
Russ and Milt work to identify a would-be assassin, and at the same time protect his prospective target after an attempt is made on the life of the fun-loving mayor of Battle Creek during the city's annual Breakfast Day celebration.
Russ is forced to turn to the last person he wants help from during the course of a murder investigation when he reaches out to his mother, a convicted counterfeiter and con artist who he doesn't exactly trust.
Milt finds himself caught in the middle of Cdr. Guziewicz's personal life when her adopted son, Danny, goes behind her back to ask him to investigate whether the man jailed for the murder of his birth parents really did it.
Russ helps Font investigate his hunch that one of the FBI's most-wanted fugitives is hiding in Battle Creek, even though Milt insists that the man died months earlier.
Milt and the Battle Creek P.D. work overtime to locate and rescue Russ after he is taken hostage by an escaped convict.

Jan 21, 2020I watched the show mainly because of Dean Winters and found out I'm a fan not only of him but of Josh Duhamel too. The series has its qualities and Russ Agnew made me laugh so many times, but let me tell you what is not funny: kindergarten jokes at the expense of fat people. It's old already, it's a cliché and cruel, although they make it seem like it's no big deal. One of Funk's colleagues was amazed how fast he ran...really? Let's stop with this stereotypes and start making intelligent humor. There are thin folks who cannot stand 5 min of exercise and there are fat ones who are even athletes... In a nutshell, always portraying the fat guy as lazy and a cake lover is silly.

Nov 19, 2019How could they cancel this show? Let's break down what the show did right. AllState Mayhem Guy being himself ✅ Harold/Kutner/Seth/Raj who makes everything better ✅ Perfect cocktail of intelligence and toxic masculinity ✅ Great partner chemistry ✅ Funny but not overly so. Threads the needle between Blue Bloods and Brooklyn 99 ✅ Again: AllState Mayhem Guy just balling out ✅ I don't get how this only goes 13 episodes while something like Burn Notice lasts for 6 years. Where's the faith?!

Aug 30, 2018I watched the whole series of 13 episodes because Vince Gilligan created it (Breaking Bad's creator). The raging jealousy of detective Russ ruined the show for me, though. He was always heckling and hassling the FBI guy Milt because Milt was so handsome and popular. This was supposed to be comedic, but I found it irritating. The plots were good otherwise.

May 23, 2016It's interesting enough for a season, and Josh Duhamel and Dean Winters are good enough together, but I don't think it would have lasted longer, and I'm not surprised it was cancelled.

Mar 05, 2016Never made it past the Episode 1 office shot showing 12 males in suits and 1 hottie in a mini-skirt. At that point I decided it wasn't intended for any woman with a brain.

Feb 05, 2016Truly excellent - great character development, interesting relationships, just the right blend of comedy and drama. Really sad this did not go to Season 2, 3, 4 and on.....
