Reckless

Canceled BUT is it worth watching its one and only season? Short answer: No.

It wasn't bad. Every episode made you wanna watch the next one but now that I know the conclusion I should probably be better not to bother with it.

It is a legal drama basically with romantic elements. The main protagonists are easy on the eyes and the plot seems interesting but as I said after you watch the series finale you would probably be disappointed.

Still I don't understand who was "Reckless" in this. Anyway... If you had ask me before the finale I would say "check it out". The finale changes everything and makes the whole series unworthy...

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 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.

.... a southern soap-box-drama... if it works at all it's because of chemistry between two-attractive-leads ... otherwise is pretty standard material with lots of pretty location shots of the city... now eight years since the series aired, with only a total of little more than three thousand IMDb reviews with forty written user reviews (four critic reviews)... would it have done better with fewer than thirteen episodes.. probably... ending as if they had expected it to have at least another season to wind up... the writing always makes everything work, here just running it course in thirteen hours of programming.

Can't understand these reviews! Really enjoyed all 5 episodes so far. The plots are unique to legal shows. I started out loving the wardrobe for both men and women then the plots drew us in. The actors are terrific as are the characters. We can't wait for the next episode. I wish other fans would post! The sexy undertones and overtones are great. The plots with the under cover character, the fire bomb, even the courtroom scenes are fun and not dredged up from old Law & Order episodes as so many others are. The beautiful sets and backgrounds are unique and beautiful. No New York - so tired of those. It seems more like ramped up real life than most shows. It's believable and a pleasure to watch.
