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.
Love this show… Please renew. Cam Gigandet is great… Love his fake southern accent!
One of the few shows that has a real storyline that makes you want to see what happens next.

Please, please RENEW…just love this tv series!!!
Please renew! The season finale was great. I have been hooked on this show from the first episode and can’t wait til the next one airs each week.
Renew. It seems every show on TV is staged either in Los Angeles, New York or Chicago. America is not those three cities only. This TV show encapsulates an entirely different part of America that mostly not know about. It has great storylines, talented acting and the potential to go along way as a truly respectable TV show.
RENEW. AMAZING. AND SUPER TWISTY TO WARDS THE END.
Please renew!!!!!
