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 this show it’s a great one with Southern flair. It should stay on. Love it. Please keep this one
please, please, please don’t cancel!!!!! I love this show!!!
this tv series is fantastic! every week im on the edge of my seat to watch the new episode. completely in love with this series and I am seriously praying it will be renewed for many, many seasons to come.
Please renew Reckless. The actors were just getting into
their groove. Plots were grabbing the audience and
the ratings were better. Remember, Mash would’ve
been cancelled after 6 episodes! !!!!
Please renew Reckless. The characters are just developing
into great “must see tv”. The plots are jellies nicely.
What more do you want. Remember, Mash would’ve been
cancelled after 6 episodes! !!!!.
Love it. I do set dvr for 2 hours because of the overlapping when shows run over. Always have for Sunday night shows. I would hate for Reckless to be cancelled.
Love it! I discovered it late in its first season and have been telling everyone to watch, I’m the demographic they always talk about in the ratings and I’m THRILLED to have something so interesting to watch besides all the crime dramas. It’s got me looking forward to TV on Saturdays! Please RENEW!

Please, please,please don’t cancel!!
One of the best shows to come along in a long time!!
Definitely needs to be renewed!!
Love it! Can’t wait from week to week! Sizzling chemistry between Jamie and Roy!
The very best show this summer. My husband and I have not missed an episode except when a sporting event stole Reckless’ spot. In our locality and it may be for a lot of localities, the time slot on Sunday night was not good as so many sporting events ran over into the Reckless time slot. Therefore, when our DVR was set for an hour it was not recorded until I began to extend the recording to 2 hrs. I would suggest moving it to another night. We had same problem with Mentalist and CSI Miami. Please keep Reckless on.
Love this southern legal drama 🙂
Renew it, please!
Please don’t cancel! I only just discovered this show on Friday! Watched episodes 1-10 from Friday to Sunday just in time to see last nights episode! So good! Can’t wait until Saturday!
This is one of the best tv shows I have seen in a very long time! Please don’t cancel! I can’t wait for the next episode to come on PLEASE don’t dissapoint the fans! They are great actors and have the right chemistry to make the show a hit!
I hope it returns. I liked it and couldn’t wait for the following week to see the program.
the increase in the number of viewers yesterday, 9/7/2014, is an indication that more people have discovered the show. let’s see what the response will be next week. i believe this show is a sleeper and that not renewing it would be a dreadful decision by cbs.
Don’t forget to watch it on Saturday, 9/13/2014, Slew, from 8-10 eastern. Season finale.
