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.
Reckless should definitely be renewed for season 2.
One of the few good shows on. CBS should keep it.
Keep Reckless!!
Love this show!!!! Please renew it!!!!
HOPE IT STAYS ON!!!!! I enjoy this show because I have been to this part of the east coast. Also, its good because the “good old boys” don’t always win and Jamie’s character is a strong womans role. IT IS NOT A REALITY SHOW.
Really enjoy this show and look forward each week to see it. Please continue with this series. Very enjoyable
I LOVE this show, Reckless, and have totally gotten caught up in the characters and intrigue. I would hope that the network does not cancel it as it’s not fair to base a series that shows in the summer. Most people don’t watch TV shows as much in the summer. Give it a chance.
PLEASE KEEP THIS SHOW ON! Great characters and story lines. This show gets better with every episode. We never miss it!
Give Reckless a chance for people to discover how great it is. Even though it has a small audience now, the viewers who have been watching really LOVE IT and are very loyal! We want to see what happens next.
Reckless should be allowed to renew for another season and develop its audience. Reckless could eventually win awards. It would make a great success story.
I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!! Please, don’t cancel!!! This show has action, good written dialogues, chemistry…
Please, give it another shot!!! It’s actually one of the best shows on TV. PLEASE DON’T CANCEL 🙁
One of my fave new shows! Don’t cancel!!!!
Don’t cancel .. This is definitely one of the good shows out there .. with hot hot hot men too!!
Love this very original story and the setting.
Love, love, love this show, please don’t cancel! Finally a good summer series with action, chemistry and engaging stories!!
This is one of the best shows on tv. Please do not cancel it. It doesn’t drag on like all the other “lawyer”shows. I think CBS has a hit on their hands!
Love this show so please do not cancel and give it another shot
PLEASE – PLEASE – PLEASE – KEEP THIS GREAT SHOW ON. It is the one thing I look forward to on Sunday night after a weekend is thie WONDERFUL SHOW. Now all we need is for Roy and Jamie to get it together as you know they are destined to be together. They could separate their personal lives and their careers to make it work.
