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.
Renew it definitely..has so many possibilities..
I love this show. It is one the best shows. I look forward to every episode. Please renew it.
Reckless is a show with considerable class, excellent writing and plot lines that keep developing, creating new scenarios. There is some very good acting as well.
If CBS doesn’t keep it, hopefully another network or cable will pick up this gem.

Unfortunately, so seldom do TV executives in broadcast television allow shows to mature. If we’re going to save Reckless, a massive, coordinated campaign, which includes writing letters, must be planned to keep the show on the air or to get it back onto the air, if canceled. With the support of various organizations that would support the integrity of the roles played by Anna, Cam and others, we just might convince CBS executives not to cancel the show. What do you say?
