Into the Fire

There has been a huge visceral response to the CBS summer replacement series Reckless. Fans are writing, posting, tweeting, and using a Facebook page specifically designed for renewing Reckless. Fans' outcries are often the only way series TV can be salvaged.

Reckless did everything right – except, according to some South Carolinians, some faux pas with area references and specific cuisine choices. Those kinds of mistakes are easily corrected with the proper researchers/contributors. Each week the characters revealed more of themselves, the intrigue increased, the UST intensified, important background information added to the fullness of the circumstances, and sometimes the bad guys and gals triumphed. It ended with questions that need to be answered. The fans of Reckless have been left clamoring for more.

We all have different preferences for our television viewing, and at times it's hard for us to understand how some shows survive while others are canceled. Quality is at a premium, and Reckless had it. From start to finish, Reckless gave its audience week after week of a solid storyline, terrific acting, court room clashes, backroom deals, a good guy in the midst of corruption, and a talented, confident but vulnerable female making a name and place for herself far from her Yankee comfort zone. Romance lingered. Lust prevailed. Bad things slid under the radar and seemed to dominate certain lives. There were unique twists and sad occurences. There were egos, pride, greed, and slander. Multiple kinds of conflict. Beauty, ugliness, and evil.

I can't imagine not being able to enjoy more of this drama and learning the results of that cliffhanger ending. And I'm not alone. Reckless has a cache of fans who are bombarding CBS with their requests for more. We're hoping CBS will respond favorably to this serious fan base and bring back Reckless. 

Lord, please use the talent you've given so generously. Let it be that you receive the gratitude you deserve for your love and kindness. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
