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 honestly, love the show!!! it was amazing. You can not leave the viewers hanging like that
Love the show…found it on Netflix and I want to keep watching!!!
Love the show!
I had never heard of the show until my husband found it on Netflix. We fell in love with it! maybe advertising it better could give it a second chance and more people will know about it.
I never heard any promos for this show this summer. I found on Netflicks and thought it must have been produced by them, HBO, Showtime, etc. Netflicks please pick it up at least for a conclusion. Wonderful acting, great realistic portrayal of the south, good plot line. So much better than reality tv.
Finally, a well done show – we watched all episodes in two days when we found it on Netflix. If CBS is so shortsighted as to let this gem go – Netflix should pick it up. Great show, was getting better and better.
Finished “reckless” on netflix and googled for the next season. Hopefully cbs don’t cancel the next season. It’s such a great show.
This show is a keeper!!!!! Please make season 2!!!!!
My ancestors were born in Charleston, SC so apart from my personal interest in the city, I don’t think there has been anything as brilliant as this since the original Dallas. It has all the twists and turns to keep the story intriguing. I watched it on Netflix; unfortunately I have now seen all the available episodes. Absolutely brilliant cast! Please air season 2. Here’s hoping.
Please Air Season 2 of Reckless, I love this show watched it on Netflix…
WHAT!!! I LOVED THE SHOW!!! They cannot cancelled it!!! I too found it on Netflix and finished season 1 this weekend…. This show left me thirsty and wanting some more, they must air season 2 because if they don’t.. I would be really sad and in a shut down mode
just watched reckless on Hulu. It is a great series a misstep for CBS not to continue the series.
Just watched it on Netflix also…great show sad to hear no season..I am a fan..great group of actors..
I would love to see a second season!! I really liked the show, sad they aren’t keeping it going.
I, too, just found this show on Netflix and loved it. Each episode I could not wait to see what happened next. Hoping you give this show another chance.
