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.
LOVED THE SHOW. CAN’T WAIT FOR THE RETURN SEASON. PLEASE DON’T CANCEL.
SUMMER IS NOT A GOOD TEST PERIOD!
Please do not cancel I love the show. You must give us another season
Love the show. Please don’t cancel!!!!!
How can A&E even think of cancelling this series with so much interest in it? doesn’t make sense. OR, are they just trying to see what the viewers think? Why not just ask..yes or no
Loved this show.. Please keep. Want season 2
I look forward to Reckless and I never have Tv favorites. I can’t wait for Season 2
Love the constant change of events. Jaime is my favorite.
Keep it going. The plot twist in the last two episodes was great….unexpected. So sexy, too!! Characters have gotten to the place where they have some depth….that always takes a bit of time. It happened and the storyline is intriguing.
Please do not, cancel the show. I live for Sundays to watch & enjoy.
Reckless is a fabulous addition to TV. It has been exciting to watch….lots of energy & drama. Love it! Anna Wood & Cam Gigandet have great chemistry, Adam Rodriguez is excellent and so are all the other characters. CBS will hopefully know it is a winning show and continue to renew the program. If they don’t they are idiots!!!!!!
yes keep going love it can’t get enough so I’m right I’m waiting for season 2
best show ever…..please we need season 2
I liked this show very much. It had good sexual tension between two good looking sexy actors and good story lines that kept it interesting. Even the supporting actors were intersting, added to the show and YES I WANT THIS SHOW RENEWED. It needs a bit more publicity for people to catch on. It’s a good, intelligent and sexy show.
Absolutely love it, I count the hours I and minutes until it airs again!,,
We both watched this show and really enjoyed it. We think it should at least have one more season so people get a chance to view it. It is a good change from the bloody criminal programs.
I LOVED IT!!!! creative writing…twist N turns….sexual tensions….BEAUTIFUL location….come on CBS it would be “RECKLESS” of you not to give us another season!
