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 believe the show is great. The show has a great story line. It continues to get better weekly. All the shows needs is more advertisement/exposure. I’ve introduce the to many of my family members. They now like the show.
Don’t cancel the show!!!
Love, love this show! Great storyline, wonderful actors…it’s like watching the old Dallas! SWEET!!
Love the show- hope it is back next season
Love love love this show…please keep it!!!!
This show is fantastic. It is filled with high levels of great chemistry. I want Jamie and Roy to fall in love. Honest and good acting..I watch it over and over on demand and look forward to each week. This show should air all year.
I love this show , the chemistry of all the actors and actresses is great, story line and plot just keeps getting more intriguing, so many fir factions this show could go, please let it see it’s potential .
Really enjoy it! I sure hope, if they do cancel the show, they will finish this season.
Don’t miss the two-hour finale Sat. @ 8PM eastern. The announcer tonight called it the “SEASON finale,” not the “SERIES finale,” or the ambiguous “finale.”
TOTAL GARBAGE AND WASTE OF TIME, THE ABSOLUTE WORST ACTING AND SCRIPT. CANCEL THIS ATROCITY IMMEDIATELY!!!!
This show must stay!!!!!! One of the best on CBS. Chemistry between main characters is amazing!!!! I am waiting for this show every week!
I first watched this show because I loved my visits to Charleston. However, I’ve really gotten wrapped up in the subplot with LeAnn, and the scenery, and I think the Roy and Jamie characters have great chemistry. Really hope CBS renews!
One of the best tv shows on this summer. We haven’t missed an episode and will be very upset if it doesn’t renew,
First time I’ve fallen this in love with a new show since the debut of Castle. I love the back and forth between Jamie and Roy. I love how each outsmarts the other. I love that Roy is such a devoted father. I love Cam Gigandet. I love the heat. I live the intrigue.
Ditto on all counts regarding Reckless. Before my recent retirement, I watched only a few broadcast TV shows, but plan to watch Reckless if it is renewed for another season. I had never seen Cam play any role before. What a fine, fine actor: Through the use of subtle movements and facial expressions, one knows exactly how he feels about something; he doesn’t overact, so he’s effective in getting his point across. His depth and calmness of tone (in speech) reminds me of that used by Julianna Marguilies of The Good Wife, who has positively affected the approach of other… Read more »
Enjoy this show. My mom, husband, and myself , all watch it. It has a nice moral at the end, nice location, just a great show to enjoy . I hope they renew it.
I hope you keep this show on the air. Its one of the few summer shows I look forward to each week. The story lines are good and keep your interest from week to week. Plus, the men are really very good looking. AND its not a reality show thank God.
Keep this show on the air! It is a great program keeps me tuned in every week. Great chemistry between the characters. Love Ray!
