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 the show and hope it will come back.
I love RECKLESS! Please do not cancel. I will be heart broken. Thrilled that it is set in Charleston…my favorite city! I also love the characters and the drama! The show has great potential for bringing in lots of story lines.
this is a great show – it needs to be renewed. If nothing else move it to A&E, or one of those other stations.
I loved this show and hope it will be a regular. I miss it already and wish it would continue right away. Best summer show ever.
One of the best “sizzling” shows all summer. Potential to be more popular if placed in the line-up with a good spot. Loved the character development and the chemistry between Jamie and Roy. Keep it coming!!!!
Please renew!!!!! LOVE this show. My top favorite!
I L O V E this show so much that I usually watch it 2 times a week by looking at it again. It is the BEST thing that had happened to CBS in a long time. It is very full of momentum and very good actors. You can tell they are CRAZY about each other- now let them get to it so to speak. Take some of the other JUNK you have on and KEEP this on P L E A S E !!!!!!!!
SEASON 2!! it was soooooo good! dont cancel it! keep it going! 🙂
Please do not cancel. It has so much potential. The acting and story
lines are complex and compelling. We had scheduling issues and had
to watch some episodes. ” on demand” that should count .with
The numbers
Please , please renew Reckless ! We looked forward every weeks to watching our new favorite show ! The characters Roy and Jamie are two of the best leads on tv . The plot twists are awesome ! Love the show ! Please don’t cancel the show !!
Did LeAnn and Dec plan all of this from the beginning so the acting police chief [Holly] would be discredited, clearing the path for Dec to run for Mayor?
reckless have my rating. i love the show. i will be very disapointed, if the series cancel.
since episode 11 the ratings has dropped, why give Roy and them the chance to have the love affair. lets have a happy, hot episode or two. Roy and Jamie , the perfect couple let them steam it off for a while please. why must the ex -wife phone while something good is happening? it is so predictable like all the others eg Scandal, Beauty & the Beast etc and so we can go on.
please do not cancel, continue for sure… we love the series, but please get Roy’s ex-wife to leave the show, have another distraction for their love affair but not that!!!! it is hot, they need the passion, do not go the same route as Scandal series please please…
Please keep Reckless. It is an awesome show. The plot twists & smoldering sexual tension is gby far the best I’ve seen in a while! It is different, and that’s refreshing. Suspense? Yes! It’s a wonderful show. Give the show time to build momentum, please. It will find it’s gross-worthy audience. I understand you are in business for profit, but give us loyal CBS followers a reward for being loyal! – Keep Reckless on. Tired of finally getting a good show that’s original and fresh just to get it cancelled. Please.
