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.
Renewed for sure! Good show…
I really really hope they keep Reckless for another season. I love this show!!!
Roy Rayder has the best wardrobe on TV.
We love it!
Please renew the show! I totally love it! I am sure it will pick up in the fall season!
This is well acted with a terrific backdrop of Charleston, South Carolina. Everyone knows that Sunday night 10 pm eastern is a death knell time slot for CBS. Bring this show out in the open next summer and see how it does. At very least 13 shows. CBS is in danger of being knocked off its perch as the brain trust simply do not back good, new drama anymore. Soon it will be hard to tell it apart from ABC.
Love the show look forward to seeing it every week. Hope it’s renewed.
I love this show! Please do not cancel it!
I am totally HOOKED … just watched 8 shows in one evening … couldn’t get enough of it and now I can’t wait to see how it resolves! PLEASE PLEASE renew it for a second season. Or at the very least don’t leave us hanging!
Love the show!! Summer time is hard to judge the success of a show….please renew for a second season!!
I really LOVE Reckless and I think it is one of the best shows on this summer. The idea that this show would be cancelled while that silly “Under the Dome” remains on the air is hard to believe. I think the execs at CBS are out to snacks. Please tell me how I contact CBS to let my feelings known. I can only hope that’ if they do decide to make this horrible mistake’ that one of the cable networks (USA or TNT) will have the smarts to pick it up.
Please renew Reckless!!! It is such a great show….so interesting, intrigue, passion and great script and scenery.
I love this show but I’m imagine it won’t be renewed. But they keep a show like Castle. Sorry hate that show.
Love the show!
Don’t cancel
LOVE this series!! It’s got sizzle, unexpected plot twists, good acting….would hate to see it drop. Network execs should factor in the quality of programs instead of letting numbers dictate EVERYTHING. Playing the “numbers game” gives us scores of idiotic “reality” shows and redundant spin-offs (CSI–anywhere USA)….hospital dramas, cop shows, vampires). Why not air something FRESH for viewers???
Excellent show. We got hooked by the second episode, and would hate to see it dropped.
Great show!!!!!! has to be renewed for next season……..
