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.
Renew it and bring back Vegas! Need to stop doing shows that get viewers intrigued then just cancel after 1 season!
One of the hottest new shows. Love the characters, plot and LOCATION!!
Well put together. Way better than most of the soaps like “Revenge” and
“Nashville” whose plots have become ridiculous.
Reckless was by far one of the classiest new shows in years. The cast and writing was amazing, everyone I got to watch it got hooked! Please give it a fair chance and renew for season 2! If it was released in the fall it would have skyrocketed!
John, spot on. Needed more promotion. So well done.
LOVE IT
WE NEED MORE EP ASAP
Love it!
Loved it please bring back!!!!
Loved it! They should renew gor a second season but air now in the Fall
Love, love, love this show!!! Please do not cancel!!!
This is a really good show. After CBS made a mess of Under the Dome, I can see their terrible judgement. Hopefully another network will pick up Reckless.
Please bring the show back it was great!!
Hands down needs to be renewed, best show of the summer…can’t get enough.
Please!!!!!! RENEW
PLEASE BRING RECKLESS BACK I LOVE THIS SHOW
I love it. It is my favorite show..
Please bring it back. Didn’t miss a week watching.
