    Though I have given this a positive green score, I am not sold on this. The friction between the two main leads seems fake. The scripts need a good polishing. The actors seem to be good for the roles they are doing but I am just not buying the overall premise of the plot.

    I hope it gets better before soon or it will be cancelled.

    If Candice Bergen was a regular I'd give a higher score. I watched the first episode and was kind of bored, then I watched the episode with Candice Bergen and she gave it spice of life. She totally rocked!

    There’s a lot of lying going on in this police headquarters. A lot of smart, superbly sustained entertainment, too.

    Once Duhamel and Winters settle into a rhythm and begin showing more nuanced aspects of their characters, I began to enjoy "Battle Creek" for the light, reasonably well-constructed crime drama that it is, and as the season develops, Shore is able to do a few interesting things with the question of whether people can truly change.

    This one’s super funny, especially the scenes featuring Winters and Duhamel together. Talk about chemistry.
