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 look forward to Reckless every Sunday! My friend in Canada & I get in chat while we watch it just so we don’t talk over the show but can text our reaction just like we’re there watching it in person.
I’d love to see a season 2. The characters are all starting to form their own stories!
Love the show. Locating in Charleston just icing on the cake. Forget the dumb sitcoms and awful reality shows. Give me adult characters who are actually interesting.
We love this show so much,great acting,fast paced and fun.DONT cancel another show I love please!!
Stop canceling good show, keep this one going
Keep the show!
Like a nigh ttime soap opera, but better! Please renew. Love the show
Great show , renew, rnew, renew!
Please keep this show on. I love all the characters and the tension between the main characters is wonderful.
Reckless is outstanding and actually has become my favorite show. It moves quickly and there are surprises with every episode. I especially like the location of the South which adds great charm. DON’T CANCEL….PLEASE!
Love Reckless. Great show in every way. Please renew!!!
I love this show. The story line is great and love some surprises with characters. I think it is well written and attention holding. Please don’t cancel as it is awesome to see all the scenes in Charleston including that beautiful bridge with surrounding views but especially the beautiful city as we’ll. This is my favorite summer show addition and I try to figure out the plot of the current lawsuit during the week. Love the actors and just thoroughly enjoy this addition to CBS – a real winner!
Please Renew.. love this show !!!
LOVE THE SHOW, HOPE IT CONTINUES
LOVE Reckless! CBS please renew for Season 2! I just have to know what the future holds for Jamie and Roy. Love Charleston as the backdrop for such a great show.
Love the show – favorite of the summer! I by chance saw the second show since I was up late and loved it. Went back and watched the first on the computer. Ever since, if I’m out of town – it’s being recorded. I think the 10:00 Sunday night slot was not in their favor . It’s quite refreshing seeing something from out of the south rather than another hollywood or new york city crime and courtroom show. For me it has a bit of the Dallas feel about it with the good-guy bad-guy, who’s cheating who, who’s swindling/back-stabbing who,… Read more »
