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. Please renew it.
Best show this summer. Hope it gets renewed for second season and many more.
LOVE THIS SHOW! Best show on the air.
Would very much like to view the remaining episodes. Well written show – worth keeping – very diabolical.
Good acting, and looked forward to the week’s next episode as soon as it appreared on TV.
One of the summer’s best!

DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW!!
I love love love this show. Jamie and Roy have amazing chemistry. And Seriously you can’t leave us with Dec (or in my opinion Dick getting shot). The question goes through your mind.. Was it Lee Anne? or Was it Lindsay? Dec was in cahoots with Lee Anne and Lindsay is carrying his son.. However if you really think about it it could have been Barbara.. hmm lots of questions we need answered. But the most important. Are Jamie and Roy together?
Great show. Enjoyed every episode. Looking forward to Season 2
Love the characters…love the setting…love the show! Please give us more!
Love the show… recorded every one and plan on re-watching the season. Roy and Jamie have a wonderful on screen chemistry. Would like to see the show picked up for a second season.
Season 2 YES
Best show of the summer season!
Great show, please renew!! Wonderful cast. We need to see how it all plays out.
Great show. Please renew. Season finale left us wanting more. Great cast!
Season 2 please. We love the show. The finale left us wanting more.
I love this show. It was written very well. Do not cancel!
I was disappointed that the show was not shown on Golf days and they changed the last two episodes to Saturday and even then it was late because of football.
Don’t cancel
Reckless is an awesome show with two great (and very attractive) lead characters. The show has interesting story lines especially the building and undeniable chemistry between Jamie and Roy. We need to see how it plays out and to see who shot Dec. Please do not cancel this fantastic show!!!!
Love Reckless, Hopefully they renew it, get disappointed when they renew stupid shows and not the good ones. Like they bring back Resurrection and cancel Black Box???
Love this show!!! CBS don’t cancel!
