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 loved it. we need more, please please, please!!!!!
The summer is too bz to watch TV but I watched in on demand, it kept me very interested and want to continue watching DON’T CANCEL RECKLESS!!!
I love the show, and I love the cast. I never miss an episode, and I really hope they do not cancel the show. They have been so many shows that I have gotten interested in and then wait for the second season to air to only to find out they canceled the show in the end. Take for instance Almost Human, Betrayal, & Dracula, just to name a few IMO these were also really good shows that I loved and I really, really, hope that I don’t have to add one of my other favorite shows to the list… Read more »
