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.
Please do not cancel. The cast and storylines have been excellent. For the most part, even the southern accents, especially Roy’s, have been on target.
this was one of the best shows this season please keep it going. I know others love it as well. Too many good shows are cancelled when they shouldn’t be. Look at the Glades, after they cancelled it they realized it was truly a hit – numbers mean crap
Please don’t cancel Reckless…I look so forward to each week for this show to come on. It doesn’t matter that it aired in the summer..it ranks right up there with Greys Anatomy, Scandal, Chicago Fire and PD….We want Season 2 of Reckless!!
Reckless is one of the best shows I have seen on tv in a while..It ranks up there with the Good Wife, Greys Anatomy, Chicago Fire, Chicago PD and Nashville. It doesn’t matter if it is aired in the summer or fall..its just a great show!! Hopefully CBS will keep this show on..they are too quick to cancel shows..cancel some of your stupid shows and bring Reckless back for Season 2!!
Please keep Reckless on CBS it’s the best
Please do not cancel!!!! This is one of the best shows on TV. Everyone I talked to that has seen it loves it and can’t wait to the next show
I concur with Brenda. I have enjoyed the many plot twists and the cliff hangers every week. Kept me coming back every Sunday.
I love this show making it my favorite in a long time. I would be pretty upset if it was not renewed. Please bring it back for another season.
I loved the season of reckless and hope it continues into another season
Instead of becoming a long line of shows that I enjoyed that we’re cancelled
Thank you
PLEASE RENEW FOR NEXT SEASON …….
Please do not cancel Recklass! My husband and I love it! Maybe move it to the Fall season…maybe it will do better there…just keep it please!
PLEASE do Not cancel Reckless. My husband & I Love this show.
My sisters and husbands love Reckless. It’s steamy and done in a classy way. Here we go again…it may not return because it’s not a realty show with crude people, it’s not science fiction or someone cutting up someone’s body parts? It may go the way of Golden Boy, which was a series that wasn’t given enough time to play out? The public doesn’t always need House of Cards and Blacklist every single day; it needs some peace and beauty too.
I hate getting controlled by these networks!
Ditto.
Yes I think Reckless should be renewed. I think it is a great cast and a great show.
Please do not cancel this show. It is one of the best I have watched in a long time. Please renew for next season.
