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.
I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! We don’t need another cookie cutter NCIS spinoff!!
Give this show a chance, PLEASE!!!
I am hooked on the show and so is everyone in my family
I hope this gets renewed for a second season. It would be
Very disappointing if it’s cancelled.
The RECKLESS tw0-hour season finale will be broadcast SATURDAY, September 13, 2014, from 8-10 pm Eastern time.
Absolutely love this show it beats any reality show. Please keep making the show.
Love love loved the show! The characters are intriguing, with just the right amount of romance and drama. Looking forward to seeing Roy and Jamie connect and the new plot revolving around the mayors race. I’m hopeful this show will return for season two. Please bring it back.
My husband and I really enjoy this show. The acting may not have been the best in the beginning, but it has greatly improved. The show has a great plot and every week there is a cliffhanger. i would be so disappointed if Reckless wasn’t renewed for next year. A great show with great actors!
Reality tv should be on it’s way out. Reckless is a great show, and Charleston is one of the best cities in the country! Please, don’t take Reckless off the air. You already took Csi Miami away from us, don’t make the same mistake with Reckless!
Refreshing to watch a drama on the weekend…not an empty reality show!
I enjoy this show and look forward to it every Sunday. So much better than some of the stupid sitcoms and idiotic reality shows. Please don’t cancel this show!
the show deserves a second season it is filmed in a beautiful city charleston. the show is just great full of drama sexy great actor please give it a chance it needs a little more lighting.
