Reckless

What fun! The good old boys have a beautiful, sexy, gutsy and, above all smart lady lawyer spoiling their lazy, corrupt, and down right mean dumb fun. Anna Wood is perfect as the smart sexy and proud of it lawyer who comes down to Charleston from Chicago and proceeds to run circles round the local yokel cops and their corrupt superiors and cronies. They fight back, of course, revealing just how dumb and venal they are in the process. Shawn Hatosy just flat out owns the role of the main villain. He is the vivid embodiment of the worst sort arrogant,slimy, sexist, sociopathic thug that passes for a law enforcement officer in this charming and scenic but deeply flawed community. Cam Gigandet plays the intelligent, successful and well connected local attorney who whilst alternating between helping and opposing our heroine provides a stark contrast to Hatosy's mouth breather. The story lines are solid and engaging and surprisingly gritty at times given the shows genteel setting. The cast on the whole are terrific, right down to the bit parts. All seem to be enjoying themselves. Oh and sometimes it's really funny.

I definitely loved this show. From the scenes of Charleston to the characters. The story line was pretty good...actually somewhat better than some of the other shows that come on CBS, which is why I can't really see why out of all the shows they decided to cancel this one. I just got done watching the whole season 1 on Netflix and couldn't stop watching. The love story to it was great to see and the corruption and mystery to it all in the end totally kept me watching it. I read some of the posts on here and a lot of them were from people that only watched one or two episodes. Maybe if they had watched all the episodes it would peak more of your interest, but then again they might be those select few that do not like legal shows and enjoy debauchery TV shows like Under the Dome or Keeping up with the Kardashians. My only wish is that even though this show will no longer be on CBS that they at least make it a Netflix show!

I am very upset that they canceled this show- It has great characters and plot lines that make you want to find out what is going to happen. What makes it worse is that I didn't even know about this show until I found it on Netflix- CBS must have done a really poor job of promoting it for a summer show. I really wish another station would pick it up for at least one more season so that we can have some closure. It saddens me that shows get kicked to the curb solely based on ratings, when some people don't have the ability to sit and watch TV when it is airing and they have to record it or watch it on "On Demand". Please reconsider bringing Reckless back for all the loyal fans.

Beautiful people and saturated lighting. Impressive location shots and good pacing.

Started off like a soap. But, ended very well. The final twists tied up the loose ends. Lots of drama and emotional entanglement. Tense and intelligent courtroom finale.

The true love of the protagonists compared to the lust of the secondary characters.

It even managed to end the final 5 minutes with a mystery despite the revelations.

Look forward to Season Two.

I have been completely impressed with Reckless. I originally only wanted to watch it because of Cam Gigandet but it has so much to offer. I really like the untraditional location and the dramatic scandalous characters. They are so multi-dimensional with really interesting story lines. As each episode progresses the plot develops and it continues to get more entertaining. It feels like there is so much material to explore as not only is it a legal drama it also has corruption budding romances and plenty more.

Probably the one thing that isn't quite right is the fact that so far they only seem to have 1 defence attorney, 1 city attorney and 1 judge. It feels small town but maybe too small town. It's a little unrealistic. I'm sure they will build on from this though and it can only get better.
