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.
Please bring it back for season two
My favorite summer series! Looking forward to a second season.
Loved this show … Bring it back for Season Two
Please don’t cancel this slow
Pls don’t cancel Reckless. This is an awesome intriguing show with very good played out actors. Season 2 can be a lot about who and why they shot Dec. please consider another season. They deserve it.
My husband and I love this show! Possibly my favorite show on television! Please renew!
This show has become my guilty pleasure. I know, I know it’s kinda of a soap opera. But it got better as the season went along. I got involved in the characters. I enjoyed the setting of Charleston … although they didn’t make as much use of it as I would have liked. I really do hope they renew it … they’ve set up several story lines that I would be interested in seeing played out.
Keep this show I love it
Renew please….love this show!
Please don’t cancel Reckless!! It’s one of the best shows on CBS!
