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 the show! I hope it will come back for another season.
PLEASE KEEP THIS SHOW. MY WIFE AND I LOVE IT
Renew Reckless please. My husband and I love this show.
Season 2,3, 4′ and more!
Just watched the season finale of Reckless and I will be VERY disappointed if it’s not renewed for a second season. It ended on a huge cliffhanger with many loose ends and it would be unfair to millions of viewers to cancel it without a satisfying conclusion. Come on CBS, do the right thing. Being that it airs on Saturday nights in the summer I think a lot of viewers, including myself, DVR the show and watch it later. Thus not reflected in the ratings.
My wife & I watched the entire 1st season which kept improving as it progressed. It aired in a tough time slot.
Love this show ! Please renew. There are so many “reality” shows on major networks that I had switched most of my viewing time to cable channels or re-runs. This show was a very pleasant surprise
This is a great show. Please don’t cancel. Shows are started and stopped so frequently it is hard to keep up with the shows I like. For instance I almost missed it because it was on saturday not sunday. How can you end the show like this. Bad. Thx
I love, love the show!
I have loved the show since the beginning!
Totally hooked!!!
Great show look forward to a Season 2. Love the great southern charm of Roy. CBS don’t leave us hanging RENEW for another season.
Please don’t cancel the chemistry between Jamie and Roy brings me back each week !!! Please renew for season 2 !!! Give it a chance !!!
Wow! Two-hour Reckless outdid itself tonight (Saturday). I agree with all the positive things being said about the show. It’ll be a shame if CBS doesn’t renew. A cancellation would also leave the millions of viewers wondering, Who shot Dec?
Love this show, please renew for season 2, Jamie & Roy are heating things up. Give it a chance on the regular season.
Love this Show, totally addicted. Keep this one going and renew for Season 2. The Chemistry between Jaime and Roy kept me coming back each week. Give Anna and Cam another Season…
Got better and better each week. Please don’t cancel!
My friends & I agree with you Linda
