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.
This is such a terrific series. I just think it being shown during the summer it didn’t get the attention it should have gotten. I hope it is renewed, it really deserves a chance.
I love this show – please don’t cancel it. Best show on TV
BRING IT BACK!!! BRING IT BACK!!! SEASON 2
PLEASE keep for another season, LOVE the show…..
Don’t cancel this tv show. I love it and there should be a season 2. Lots like this show they just don’t take the time to vote. Please don’t cancel this show.
I don’t think the show should be canceled. I think there should be a season 2. Please dont cancel this tv series. I love this series so much and others probably do but they don’t take the time to vote.
I think this drama should be renewed. I really enjoyed the twists and turns which I did not see coming. The element of not be able to figure it out keeps you interested in the series.
