Battle Creek
Not all cops are buddies.
Created by David Shore, Vince Gilligan
On CBS
A lightly comedic buddy-cop procedural built on the friction between mismatched partners, with enough humor to soften the crime-of-the-week formula.
In this mismatched buddy cop dramedy, an amazingly handsome, happy-go-lucky FBI agent is paired with a local, hard scrabble Michigan homicide detective. As they solve crimes together, their polar opposite methods only slightly outweigh their disdain for each other.
