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 this show. Please do not cancel. PLEASE don’t pull an A & E and drop the show when the show just gets going.
These comments are spot on. Marketing and promotion of this series lacked vision and repetition. Reckless had it all which is rare for ANY series television, let alone a summer replacement. Deserves primetime or at the least renewal. #RenewReckless

This is one of the best show of the summer. I was hook after the first Showa d then binged watched the whole season over the week end. Once again they won’t give a good show a chance. Some of the best show had really poor rating when they first aired. DON’T CANCEL this shiw

I am not a huge on TV series, but I was absolutely hooked on Reckless. With the way it ended I would only hope that CBS wouldn’t leave us hanging like that. Please don’t discontinue the show. My husband even loved it!
I really like this show, please dont cancel it. I hope there will be more new episodes that we will enjoy watching
