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.
Wonderful. It has that breezy humor that’s hard to find… I tend to like the dark, twisted stuff, so I was surprised too that this was so good. Sort of like Hart of Dixie but for a more mature audience and crime fans.
Please renew…loved it
Loved this show. Renew. Beautiful Charleston
A&E, if you are getting this kind of response for the series Reckless, then maybe you should rethink the next season and go from there. Under the Dome was interesting and now it’s just stupid..Unforgettable is the same story line every week..
Cancel Unforgettable and Under the Dome and keep Reckless!
I’m all for cancelling Unforgettable and keeping this, but I would like to see questions answered on Under the Dome so I am hoping they continue Under the Dome. But I think I did like Reckless more, (though it’s very hard to compare, they’re utterly different.)
loved the show… light and easy going….
Please don’t cancel the show I love the show
I really enjoyed the show and hope it gets renewed for at least another season. The characters work great together and it was really starting to come together the last few episodes! Anxious for Sundays as it was on.
Love love this show!!!
I would like it renewed
Yes it was good drama with new characters and not a repeat.
These needs to be renewed.
I really am hooked on this show and I don’t watch that much TV. Loved the characters and acting!
Please do not cancel Reckless!
