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 renew!
This was a phenomenal show. I’d be crushed if it didn’t return. Please please renew the show. I longed for it all week every week that it aired!!!
Continuing series with the same case are frequently bypassed by our house, yet we found ourselves looking forward on Sunday night’s. The main characters have good chemistry, Sundays are difficult on CAN because of running overtime by golf and football. I am a retiree but I get up early on Monday to volunteer at a nearby hospital
Renew maybe in a different time slot.
Keeper! It really wasn’t fair that episodes were missed or rescheduled due to golf etc. Saturdays to make up missed episodes threw people off! It was a great show and I think it deserves another shot!
Please finish the series for this season and if the conclusion is as good as the past shows I would be very hopeful that Reckless would be renewed
This show must go on ! #Renew #Reckless

Please renew!!!!!!
This show is amazing. Great plot, awesome cast. Love it…a must watch. Renew!
Please please please RENEW!!!!! Reckless is the only series my husband and I have watched from start to finish…. And we LOVE it!!!! I never once saw an advertisement for the show., which tells me it was poorly advertised. We caught the pilot on accident and were hooked. I read on Wikipedia that the least watched show was the civil wars part 1. I could have guessed that because there was a football game that ran over into the show. We got to watch it because we had it DVR ed and then part one ran into part two’s time.,… Read more »
Please renew this series. After attempting to watch many bad shows with little intelligence and bad story lines, please keep this one. Bring it back for many more seasons. If you give it a chance, it will find an audience who will be faithful to watch. Love the location and so nice to see something different for a change.
Love the twist in episode 12. Please renew.
Please RENEW!! This new show is HOT! Needs more advertising.
