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! Great cast and story line. CBS, please renew the show. Love seeing the beautiful images of Charleston
This is my favorite show and I don’t own a TV or watch much TV. Please bring it back!
One of the top 2 summer shows! Love the cast and the locale! Soooo great. Please, please renew!
KEEP the show! Started a little off beat, but it quickly became addicting! Love the characters and the locale.
love this show hope it stays on
Keep the show! I loved all the twists and turns of this show. So refreshing!!
I cannot find the last reckless -it was delayed because of the football game delay. Where can I find it cbs does not have on demand on WOW,
Please renew, please.
yes it deserves a renewel
This has been a show that has been a wonderful story with many twists and turns. Spectacular development with many unanswered plot lines worth building on. Please do not cancel
I think the series should be renewed. I love the chemistry between two main characters & especially love the Charleston setting!!! It definitely gets my vote to renew. CBS is bad for moving shows around or putting them in a time slot where the sporting event runs over & if you DVR THE SHOW, HALF OF IT IS CUT OFF!!
Keep this show, one of the best of the summer!! Great writing and acting.
Renew Reckless. Much better than a LOT of the shows on the air
I think the show has great potential and should be renewed. It’s got good actors as well.
Please don´t cancel this show. It´s one of the best I have seen for a while. I´m from Sweden and just love it. Please renew!!!
