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.
Reckless is an awesome show!! We need season 2! I never even heard of it on CBS but found it on Netflix – watched all 13 episodes in one weekend. BRING IT BACK!!!
It was AWSOME!!. CBS dropped the ball worse than Roger Goodell did by canceling the show. Reckless didnt get the ratings it really should have because barely anyone knew of it. Had CBS gotten the show more exposure they would have seen great ratings. I hadnt heard of it until I saw it on Netflix and was hooked to it instantly! (Like just about everyone else posting comments). In all honesty Netflix should buy the show out from CBS they dont deserve it for crapping the bed and letting the show die. DO YOURSELVES A HUGE FAVOR AND CONTINUE AIRING… Read more »

I’m with you, I loved this show!!! I would like to know how they determine what’s good and what’s not. I love all the new fall shows, if they cancel any, I will be MAD!
This is not ok. The show needs to come back ASAP.
Bring this show back NOW!!!!
I just spent the past 4 days watching Reckless on on Netflix. The actors did a great job of delivering their roles. The story line was good. Energy and the tension great. Some sex scenes a little graphic for T.V. But loved the ending. I had never heard of the series. The CBS network did a poor job of marketing it. Not fair to those involved and viewers. Bring it back!! Like they brought back Criminal Minds and that’s very graphic!
It is such a shame that a very good show was cancelled and the trashy ones
keep getting renewed by liberal show biz
I love the show reckless please bring it back I want to watch more
cbs. I don’t have cable and cannot get very good reception on local tv channels. Just found Reckless and thoroughly enjoyed the series. I was so hoping it would get renewed. Characters were great and actors made them seem real. I personally thought it was a great show and would continue to watch if I could access it on the internet.
Keep the show, I want to season 2!!
I really enjoy Reckless .. I cant be it will not be renewed for the 2nd season.. I would of enjoy to see what happen next… now we don’t know that happens. PLEASE BRING IT BACK, VERY GOOD SHOW!!!
