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 give us a second – and third! – season of Reckless. Great cast, engrossing through stories. It amazes me that networks continue to not allow great shows to find their audiences. Why invest in something when there’s no guarantee it will be around? Love Reckless. CBS: please give this show more time.
Love the show needs to come back
I love the show!!! I hope it comes back for more seasons; it has much potential with all the little details and twists presented weekly. The show has potential, perhaps some viewers haven’t had the chance to realize how good and different it is. The chemistry is hot; the mystery of not knowing who is who, keeps you on the edge and the different plots that are all connected is a great twist…..please keep the show on air….
I loved this series!!! I really hope we will be able to enjoy many more seasons. Please don’t cancel Reckless!!
Loved this show. Characters were great and there were always surprises. The finale was a big surprise, did not see Leeann getting such a settlement or the shooting. I hope they bring it back.
I loved this show. I had a very hard time finding out when the last two episodes would be on, but I found them and recorded them. When I went to watch them, most of the part one was postponed for a college football game. I had to watch the last episode on our computer. This did not make me happy. I hate football. I think it needs to find its own dedicated channel and stay there. Quit preempting scheduled shows because the game runs over. I loved the summer Sunday night lineup. 60minutes, Big Brother, Unforgettable and Reckless. No… Read more »
I really enjoyed the entire series and hope that you will consider renewing it for a second season.
Great cast and plot. I will definitely watch a season 2. I have heard several favorable comments about Reckless!
I/we love this show. Please continue showing it. Also I would like to see the three episodes that haven’t been on yet. The passion between Jaime and Roy is electrifying.
Penny, you missed three episodes. They ran on Saturday nights. You can catch up here: http://www.cbs.com/shows/reckless/
I love the series RECKLESS. . Great chemistry between Jamie and Roy and exciting story line. Please don’t cancel
We think it’s a very good show..given the chance it will be a success!!!
I LOVE Reckless. Will be highly disappointed if it doesn’t come back. I’m not a huge tv watcher – this was one of 3 shows that I watched.
Keep show
Please, please, please renew this show. Funnily, I did not like the first episode that much, but from episode 2 I was hooked. I really liked all the twists and turns, and there is so much more to this series than the usual. I love the fact that it is set in Charleston, why does everything have to be set in the “norm locations”. It is a breath of fresh air. No one seems to be who they are accept for the 2 main characters. I do think pitting them against each other every week is a bit much, but… Read more »
I agree. I looked forward to Sunday night’s to watch this and Unforgettable. Donna
Love the show!!!!!!
