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.
WITHOUT QUESTION RENEW!!
My husband and I both love Reckless! Please renew!!!!
Nothing surprises me much anymore but this series didn’t disappoint.
The twists and turns kept me watching week after week.
It was one show I look forward to seeing return.
I really want to see LeeAnne pay/lose something.
Keep it on…Great show!
Great show should be renewed
Great Show!!!
Yes, yes, yes, renew! I grew up in Charleston so I love the “Lowcountry” scenery shown.
The plot twists are good, and the writing is well done. Seeing new actors and actresses is refreshing, too. Also, love the addition of Linda Purl and Gregory Harrison, as well as their story line/characters. Give it a good lead-in show, on a good night, and give it a chance. There are many series in the past that took some time before they became hits…
Keep it coming, please!
Keep Reckless on great show!
This is a great show. Please don’t cancel. Both husband and I love it.
Best show of the summer. Love it
Keep this show. I love the chemistry between the 2 main characters and I live the twists and turns.
Love this series. Can’t wait to see it each week. Really hope it comes back for a second season.
