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.
I love Reckless. Please bring it back for another season
Hope this show comes back. Saw it on Netflix and it is great. Didn’t even know about this show until I saw it on TV and by that time I had already missed the beginning. I don’t think CBS did enough promotion for this show to give it a fair chance. I would definitely sign a petition to bring it back.
Didn’t know anything about the show until I got Rogers on demand and was able to watch the whole series….OMG…loved it…they are crazy to cancel the show….it’s one of the best this season!!!!!!!
Yes

It was the best show ever It keeps you wondering, I loved it can wait for more.
They can’t cancel this show!!! It needs an end!!!!
yes, I agree with you¡¡¡, it needs an end..unusual/uncommon/extraordinary
to leave the series without an ending¡¡¡¡ that should not be¡¡¡
Can’t believe they would cancel this show. Looked forward to watching it every week. Loved the locale in my favorite city. Put it on during the regular season and give people a chance to find it. There isms much junk on and this was a good show with a great cast.
Bring back.
I loved this show, i can’t image CBS cancel this show it’s will be a big mistake i’m telling you. I’m not living in USA I’m in GABON in central west of africa so i don’t know exactly at what time CBS passed the show on TV but according to your explication I think CBS has to try to pass the show when people may have time to watch it to increase the rating and I am sure some new addicted like me will be in.
