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.
Please give this show a chance with a second season. Give it time for word to get around. It started out slow and has become a good show. Love it!

Great show! Keep it on the air..it will gain a following!!
RENEW! This is, by far, the best show of the summer!
LOVE this show – RENEW!!!!
I wish they had enough episodes in the can of RECKLESS so they could just keep going at 10:00 after THE GOOD WIFE when it comes back in September. But no, it’s going to be CSI, which I will not watch under any circumstance.
renew!!!!
This show is fantastic! Love the southern setting and the casting is great. The show was poorly promoted. Had to catch up on demand. Deserves a second season plus promotion.
Please please renew……… I love this southern show.V woods
