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 really like this show. Please give it at least another season or more. The story and the actors are excellent, plus the location is new and interesting. Seriously, we viewers do not need another stupid ‘reality’ show..”Reckless” is good TV, keep it
Second season please! I love the romance in the midst of all the legal & crime!
It is a mystery to me why the networks spend so much money developing a series, and then give up on it so fast. It takes time for a show to gain viewers. So any of the shows that I have stumbled on are over before I can become a part of them. This show is one that could have a good future if allowed. I want to add my vote to the second season.
Why when a good and suspenseful show is finally put on tv they cancell WHHHHHHHHHY?
vote in the survey, should Reckless be renewed, in the Post & Courier, which has a website..
This show has incredible potential..great acting..good story line, great city, dirty cops, lots of chemistry race relations etc etc….Should definitely be renewed for another season..it just keeps getting better.lthe time slot was unfair for a new show..compared against..”the Good Wife?”
I can’t believe that this series will be cancelled. I await every episode with bated breath.!! But I’ve looked at the TV guide and I can’t see it in there but I hope this is just a fluke and that it hasn’t been cancelled.
RECKLESS will have its season finale tomorrow night, SATURDAY 9/13/14. It’s two hours, starting at 8 PM Eastern time.
Again, be sure to watch on SATURDAY, not Sunday.
I’m so there for the 2-hour finale. I really love this show more each time I watch it!
I like it a hole lot better. Then reruns. All the time. TV shows need at lest 20 shows 13 is. So dumb by the time they come around people forget
Give it another year get something good on then want to pull the plug put it on at a early time so I can see it or do Saturday that’s the best. But loved it pleaes bring it back love the cast. Thank you
My wife and I can’t wait until next Sunday to find
out what’s going to happen next.
Thanks,
Luther & JoAnne
FYI, it’s on tonight…………….Saturday 9/13 beginning at 8pm for 2 hours.
So hooked. Really hope there’s a second season!!
I have been a fan since the first episode and it just keeps getting better! Fingers crossed thta the show is renewed for a second season.
Please do not cancel this show it’s very realistic unlike most series also very un predictable consider ratings may not be accurate hence nearly most households have a DVR. I absolutely luv this show!
Love the show, hope it is renewed for season 2!!!!
Please keep Reckless tv showw
I’ve really enjoyed this show and the story line leaves a lot of different plot lines! I really hope it returns for a second season!
