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 the show please renew it. Whole cast work together great.
Please please please renew Reckless. My husband and I both loved it and would like to see it as more than just a summer replacement. You need to give it a chance when people aren’t on summer vacations!
Stumbled onto this show by accident. Great show. Bring it back, advertise it and it will succeed. Looking forward to new season!
I think the show is great. It’s a great chick flick. Love the charisma between the actors. Please don’t cancel.
Absolutely LOVED Reckless!!!! Can’t leave us hanging with an ending like that!
Why do you do that..you start a series and if you don’t have want you want to see in ratings you take it away. Give it a chance. A bunch of us get together to watch it, so give some thought as to what your viewers want.
it was the best show in a long time…..it could be made into year long series and not just a summer one….
I love this show please please do not let it end this way. This show was not given a fair chance. Very little advertisement. I Love the southern gentlemen and the fiesty city lady lawyer thing. An excellent show… Please lets all write in to keep the show on the air.
