Future episodes make it clear that Battle Creek is not a one-joke show, and that these characters all are a lot deeper than they initially seem.

While the premise sounds overly familiar, the lead duo, along with a cast that includes Kal Penn and Janet McTeer, brings some offbeat energy and hilarity to the proceedings.

Many a good cop show has started with mismatched partners, and Duhamel and Winters establish their characters smoothly.

Considering its roots, I found it to be the most disappointing show of the season. And that's saying a lot.

Viewers who enjoy lighthearted procedurals on CBS and cable networks like USA should be happy with Battle Creek.
February 25, 2015
Battle Creek might be able to survive on the strengths of its two charismatic lead actors, but the perfunctory mystery in the premiere suggests that the lack of creativity will do them in.

Duhamel and Winters were born to share the screen as the odd couple who must solve a seriously strange series of crimes.
March 02, 2015
This show fits perfectly into the network's mystery/cop-heavy schedule and audiences should be able to blur right through it comfortably. As comfortable blurs go, Battle Creek is indeed a success.

The writers seem to be reaching for the charmingly offbeat than the procedurally groundbreaking. Still, it is a nice addition to a genre that has become all too predictable.

Battle Creek isn't bad. There are far worse ways to spend an hour in front of the TV.

The show itself strikes an interesting balance. There's the wry, absurd comedy of misfit detectives tracking oddball crimes.

Battle Creek is unlikely to inspire the same kind of praise and devotion as Breaking Bad, but it's an entertaining exercise in typical TV crime-solving.
