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.
Yes keep this show…it’s awesome.
I love “Reckless” and hope it’s renewed. Great stories, good acting, suspense, romance, drama, realism (corruption – very real!) – this show has it all! Please give us more!!!
I really love this show. Please renew!!
It took while to get into it but now it s a favorite…give it another season.
Reckless…I eagerly await each new episode. The chemistry, the acting, the depth of the characters, the setting, the plots and sub-plots, the unexpected twists all make for a very enjoyable show, well worth a second season!
Oh come on… The show was brilliant fun. They obviously weren’t advertising it properly or something.
KEEP the series!!! Lots of twists and turns….lots of different things going on. Not boring and not always predictible!!!!! KEEP it on!!! Love it!!!!

Please keep for at least one more season, would love to see Roy & Jamie end up together. Plus thought the trial story line got very interesting in the last few episodes! A nice summer watch.
