Reckless is a legal drama television series that premiered on CBS in 2014. The show revolves around the professional and personal lives of two lawyers on opposite sides of the courtroom and their complex relationship. The lead character, Jamie Sawyer, played by Anna Wood, is a litigator from a prominent Charleston family. She is sharp-witted, ambitious and dedicated to justice. Her opposite number is a fiercely charming defense attorney Roy Rayder, played by Cam Gigandet. He is willing to bend the rules to win cases and has a checkered past.

As the story unfolds, the two attorneys find themselves on the opposite side of a litigious case when a city police officer is accused of killing an unarmed black teenager. Roy is hired by the accused officer, while Jamie represents the teenager's family. Their heated and passionate rivalry leads to a combustible attraction that both find hard to resist.

Throughout the series, the legal cases that Jamie and Roy handle are a reflection of the societal issues that dominate the headlines, such as police brutality, corruption, and racial inequality. The show does an excellent job of exploring the moral, ethical, and legal complexities surrounding each case.

Reckless highlights the tension between the justice system and the public perception of it, as well as the struggles of being an attorney in a society that has lost faith in the system. It is about the lengths some people will go to win, and how justice can be compromised in the process.

The talented ensemble cast is led by Anna Wood and Cam Gigandet. They are joined by Shawn Hatosy, who plays Terry McCandless, Roy's best friend and law partner. Terry is a passionate attorney who is devoted to his job and his family. Georgina Haig plays Jamie's friend and confidante, Lee Anne Marcus. She is a paralegal at Jamie's law firm and is loyal to her friend, even when it leads to trouble. Adam Rodríguez plays Preston Cruz, a detective who works closely with Jamie on the case.

The chemistry between Anna Wood and Cam Gigandet is palpable, and the show does a good job of exploring their characters' personal lives in addition to the courtroom drama. There are some interesting supporting characters, including the judge overseeing the case who has his fair share of personal dilemmas.

The show is set in Charleston, South Carolina, and the beautiful city is showcased throughout the series. The picturesque locations and southern charm make for a perfect backdrop to the legal drama.

In summary, Reckless is a gripping legal drama that explores complex societal issues through the eyes of two opposing lawyers. The show has strong performances by its lead actors, an engaging storyline, and a thought-provoking commentary on the justice system. Overall, it is a must-watch for fans of legal dramas.
