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 this show. I hope they renew it.
Love this show. Please renew
renew the show. Its great fun
Renew the show!!! It has a great cast, lots of twists with the storyline and tremendous chemistry between Jamie and Roy. The characters are more realistic than a lot of other shows without the violence.
show is intriguing with twists every week. The cast of characters fits their personalities perfectly. Hope to see season 5 in the future even!
This is the 1st season it has been on. So we should hope for a 2nd season; not a 5th???
I like the CBS TV show Reckless. It has nice looking people and interesting stories.
Love this show! Renew this how! It’s great……
Love the show.Great characters and plots. Please do not cancel
Love it!
Amazing show. Good storyline with true life experiences. Please renew this show.
My husband and I love this show…one of the best on TV…..please renew…it would be a network. Is take to not renew…..give I it a chance with a good fall timeslot
I agree!!!
I would love to see this show renewed for a second season, its great, its got fire and with time i’m sure it will generate more viewers. How about putting it on Friday after H5O or Blue Bloods. This would be a great line up.
I agree all the way!!!!
I would enjoy Blue Bloods (8:00), The Good Wife (9:00), and Reckless (10:00) back-to-back on Friday night. That would be Must See TV for me.
Love the show!!i Hope it’s renewed. Sometimes a show needs to get traction before it’s a hit. This program has charismatic characters, story line, and a desirable location . So tired of reality shows!! Let’s keep real actors and actresses who have talent on television.
Please renew this show & dump just one reality show. Love the characters , story lines & location!
Please renew for the next season. I love this show! The two lawyers have so much chemistry and it’s a great story line. The characters are flawed and believable. Great location and scenery. Uggh. Great shows don’t get the ratings they deserve.
