Legal and crime dramas are a big part of the CBS schedule during the year. This summer, the network started airing another one — Reckless. Has this new TV show been a ratings success? Will it be renewed for a second season or, will it be cancelled instead?
Reckless revolves around a beautiful litigator from the north and a charming southern attorney who must hide their intense mutual attraction as a police sex scandal erupts in Charleston, South Carolina. The TV show’s cast includes Cam Gigandet, Anna Wood, Shawn Hatosy, Georgina Haig, Adam Rodríguez, Michael Gladis, Kim Wayans, and Gregory Harrison.
The series debuted in late June to just a 0.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 3.99 million total viewers. That was a very poor start for a scripted series — even one that airs during the summer months when expectations are lower.
Reckless’ ratings have held fairly steady and have even seen some slight improvements at times. That’s positive but the series is still the network’s lowest-rated summer series — by far. With such low ratings, it’s hard to imagine that CBS will consider renewing Reckless for a second season.
For now, CBS has only scheduled 10 of the 13 episodes. Hopefully for the loyal fans, all of the episodes will air and the series will have a satisfying conclusion.
But, what do you think? Do you like the Reckless series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
10/9 update: CBS has cancelled Reckless after one season. Details here.
Love the show

KEEP IT! LOVE IT!
Utterly sucked. Kill it.
Please keep this show Reckless!!! LIVE LIVE LOVE IT!!!
I like RECKLESS a lot. I realize it’s not great television, but I’d rather watch it after THE GOOD WIFE in the fall instead of MADAM SECRETARY. I don’t know who I like less, Tea Leoni or Hillary Clinton (and I’m no conservative). Anyway, back to RECKLESS. I really like Cam Gigandet’s performance, and they just introduced Kelly Rutherford tonight. Lily was my favorite character besides Dan on GOSSIP GIRL, and I am always happy to watch Kelly. I didn’t expect to like Roy as much as I do. I always like Shawn Hatosy, but his “bad cop” character causes… Read more »
