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.
Lousy. Terrible writing, stereotypical casting, boring stories, characters that don’t grab ahold of you.
I absolutely love this show and I will be so so upset if it gets canceled!!! Please bring back another season and not leave us all hanging!!
Great show!!! Please show final 3 episodes if cx is in the works.
I watch UTD because there isn’t much else to watch..,,it is not even close to Reckless in terms of viewer appreciation. really hope Reckless doesn’t get cancelled!
LOVE THIS SHOW !! There will be a lot of unhappy CBS followers if they don’t bring back this show for a second and hopefully many, many, many more seasons.
Good show. Ended on the usual cliff-hanger. Would be a shame for it to be cancelled and all left hanging. Its happened many times before. “Las Vegas” not 1 cliff-hanger but 3. Gone! At least they cobbled together a make shift ending for JAG, but it should have not been cancelled. I suppose this may just the next disappointment. After all, nothing really matters to TV networks except football.
Love this show. I live in Charleston and love the location scenes and the true to life personalities of the south. And let me not leave out the undeniable visual pleasure of Cam. All characters and those who portray them were excellent. Great to see Kim Wayans again. Please Renew!!!
This is one hot show! The main characters have such a sexy chemistry, and the writers keep teasing us as to when and if they will finally give in to their indulgences! It also has a great legal storyline that doesn’t get too involved with legal processes that can bore an audience. The corruption of a police force gives it an edge that keeps every episode exciting!
I love the show and I look forward to season 2! When will it take place?
Great show I hope that CBS brings it back. I did not miss one show and couldn’t wait for the following weeks episode.
Love this show!! Bring it back !
Great chemistry with the characters and good story line.
Love the charleston setting.
Give it a better time slot. I don’t think people knew it was on.
Vote to renew. Better than most shows on Sat. night.
I love this show, my husband even likes it. We need more shows like this. Please renew it!!!
