Season 1 Review: This one’s super funny, especially the scenes featuring Winters and Duhamel together. Talk about chemistry. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Battle Creek is a whimsical, even genial, cop show. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Battle Creek may be a little low-boil compared to other network mysteries, which I don't account a fault; even when it runs to caricature, it stays convincing. And if it doesn't break any new ground, it nevertheless feels fresh and genuine. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Russ's obsession with Milt's past overwhelms some of the upcoming episodes, and sentiment derails a few others. Still, the cast is strong, and in a season where so many series (some of them excellent) lean toward the grim, Creek's sunnier approach makes for a nice change. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Battle Creek works best when it lays on the quirkiness and sputters a bit when it gets too coy or sappy about the crimes the detectives are solving. But the series, thanks to Winters and Duhamel, is very entertaining and kills an hour with ease (as most good CBS procedurals do). Read full review

Season 1 Review: While it by no means reinvents the concept, it is an entertaining-enough diversion that has sufficient fresh--or freshly recycled--elements to differentiate it from its ubiquitous procedural brethren. Read full review

Season 1 Review: At its best, Battle Creek reaches for the witty whimsy of another out-of-the-way-location CBS series such as Northern Exposure. But most of the time, Battle Creek just seems like an only slightly jauntier police procedural than the ones that overrun network TV. Read full review

Battle Creek begins funny and promising, but as it develops, it does not live up to the big names of its creators. The characterization of the lead (Russ Agnew) fails to hit the target. But overall it is worth watching.
