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 LOVE IT!!!
I was a Reckless fan from the first show. My family DVRs everything so as not to miss any of our favorites due to viewing schedules. I’m a little out of the 18-49 demographic but still enjoyed the characters and scenery. My adult son and I watched together each week. What a plot twist with Lee Anne in the final two episodes. Looking forward to a second season.
PLEASE DON”T CANCEL – LOVE THE DYNAMIC BETWEEN ROY AND JAMIE – ALL GOOD CHARACTERS AND ACTORS – P;LOT LINE KEEP;S YOU GUESSING!!
PLEASE DON”T CANCEL – HOTTEST SHOW ON TV!!!
I love the show please give us a season 2!!!! But please put it on a good night!
Please do not cancel this show, I rarely watch TV except for sports and news, and this is one I love! Can’t wait to get home from church Sunday nights and tune in !
I love this show and looked forward to seeing it every Saturday night. There are so many worthless shows on TV why not continue Reckless for another season or more.
Please don’t cancel this show. It was a breath of fresh air for summer programming. Kept me interested each and every episode…great cast and great show! Would probably do better in a different timeslot, but absolutely loved it!
Great show, please continue another season. Both my husband & I have enjoyed.
Love this show it should definitely be brought back for a second season.
Really great show, I didn’t come across until it was midway through and caught up with ondemand .. Needs more advertising so people know about it;). Please have a season 2 if not on regular cbs network, one their cable
Affliates or Netflix .. So tired of all the reality shows, need guilty pleasure drama based shows;) like in the 80’s with Dallas , knots landing, dynasty, ect.. 🙂 and with season finale this past Saturday, football game messed up my dvr recording so did not get to see it all 🙁
