The drama, based on a 2002 spec from the Breaking Bad creator, centers on Russ (Dean Winters), a detective, and Milton, an FBI agent -- two men with very different worldviews who are teamed up. Together, they must answer the question: Is cynicism, guile and deception enough to clean up the semi-mean streets of Battle Creek, Mich., in the face of a complete lack of resources? Or is the exact opposite -- it takes naivete, trust and a boatload of resources -- actually true?
Herriman will recur as Detective Niblet, a nice guy who is a cop with the Battle Creek Police Department hwo looks up to Kal Penn's Detective Funkhauser and embraces his style.
