Review of Reckless

Reckless (2014)
6/10
bad legal drama, over-sexed, soapy
9 October 2014
In Charleston, lawyer Jamie Sawyer (Anna Wood) is suing the city for firing police officer Lee Anne Marcus (Georgina Haig). Her assistant is Vi Briggs (Kim Wayans). Her boyfriend Preston Cruz (Adam Rodriguez) gets dragged in when he shows up in a sex tape with Lee Anne and other officers. Her opposing lawyer Roy Rayder (Cam Gigandet) is also her ex. Dec Fortnum (Gregory Harrison) is Roy's ex-father-in-law and the corrupt senior partner in his law firm. Terry McCandless (Shawn Hatosy) is a corrupt cop in the center of the sex scandal. Deputy Chief Knox (Michael Gladis) is the good cop trying to root out the bad.

This is ridiculous as a show about the law. It is over-sexed. It is soapy. But there is something additive about how unhinged this show can get. It makes no sense that she has so many different difficult cases while she's working on a multi-million dollar suit. And she does all this with only one assistant. The hyper-sexual Lee Anne is annoying at first but she grows on me. She actually has a great progression. I marginally like this show. This is such a bad show that I'm surprise that I like it even that much.
