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.
KEEP IT
Keep it!! The only crime drama series that had me hooked and watched the entire season over a weekend. How the show “Under the Dome” has better ratings is insane.
We need to know how it ends!!!!
Love, love, love this show!
So addicting was staying up super late because I wasn’t able to stop watching!
Need season 2!
i love the show and it should be renewed for season 2 I need your comments to renew reckless for season 2 thanks evry .)))))))))))
This one is definitely a keeper! I hope that it is renewed
Keep it!!! This is one of the few crime shows that also has a compelling romance. We also need to solve the mystery if who shot Decatur and what is his actual connection to Lee Ann.
KEEP IT!
Love Reckless, only cable show of the summer that was worth watching!
Please renew! One of the best summer series yet!!!
My husband and I have really enjoyed this show. It has had great writing and plot lines. We have loved the twists and turns. PLEASE renew this show and let us know what has happened to the interesting characters and story. We also really like the actors. Great job!! We will look forward to seeing it again. Charleston is so beautiful and charming. Bring it back!
thoroughly enjoyed all 13 episodes, especially since it was on demand with rogers cable and i watched continuously and almost procrastinated watching the last episode cuz i didn’t want it to be over – please let me know if this series will continue..thank you.
Reckless is an amazing show !!!!!!! I really hope they renew it for a second season.
Again BEST SHOW EVER !!!!!
I am surprised at the low ratings of this show. I have watched every episode and have enjoyed it immensely! The setting is in Charleston! The story line is so different, I have been intrigued by the complex story lines. Lots going on, yet not hard to follow. Plenty enough to keep you interested in the main story line as well as the minor story lines as well. So many characters to just adore!! Major roles with deep, characters, thought out and admirable. The characters with a much lower morale code – well played and believable. >Even to the point… Read more »
Please renew, please. Maybe if you advertised it more folks would know to watch it. I rarely saw an ad for it.
I throughly enjoyed Reckless. I enjoyed the drama, intensity, emotions. The show had it all.
