What would be the smart move? The season one finale of Pure Genius just aired on January 26th, and we want to know if you think CBS should cancel or renew the TV show for a second season.
A medical drama, Pure Genius follows a team of doctors as they team up with cutting-edge tech experts and try to push the boundaries of modern medicine to save lives. Doctor Walter Wallace (Dermot Mulroney) is a disgraced but brilliant surgeon who is recruited by a young Silicon Valley tech billionaire, James Bell (Augustus Prew). Wallace learns that Bell is harboring a secret and he begins to question just what the young founder is really trying to achieve. The cast also includes Odette Annable, Reshma Shetty, Aaron Jennings, Ward Horton, and Brenda Song.
Pure Genius debuted on October 27th with middling ratings for CBS. The pilot earned a 1.05 rating in the 18-49 demo and 6.23 million viewers. From there, the numbers only declined. With only 13 episodes under its belt, season one of the series received an average rating of 0.86 in the 18-49 demo and a total of only 5.34 million viewers. The show’s ratings currently rank third to last out of CBS’ 22 scripted series for the 2016-2017 season.
Given the low ratings and CBS’ decision not to order more episodes, it seems likely Pure Genius will be cancelled.
But, we want to know what you think. Should CBS cancel the medical drama or, renew it for a second season? Tell us what you think.
I AM brazilian and I love Pure Genius. Very disappointing

Pure genius is amazing! I am a medical professional and this show demonstrates the new thinking that medical care needs to go. Pleeeease have a second season!
the Young doctor could be replaced with Pure Genius.
This was a great show (Pure Genius) both myself and husband watched it faithfully, Please don’t cancel it …Cancel a Zombie show instead…
I want it to come back. Loved the show
Looking forward to season 2. Great show concept, great cast. Next day “water cooler” talk was full of what if’s and wouldn’t that be wonderful…
Renew! we loved the show and the cast. Very disappointing we couldn’t wait to see Season 2.
Would love to see it return. It was TV that both made you think deeply and believe that humanity with its many flaws still has at its core a desire to help others. Enjoyed having something to watch that dealt with complex issues, human relationships, positive use of technology and a little romance too.
PLEASE BRING IT BACK…..smart tv doesn’t come around much anymore
Please renew Pure Genuis. the show rocks
I also hope you bring this show back. I really love it. You have a great story and wonderful cast. The show is not only entertaining but it leaves a person feeling hopeful and allows you to feel good rooting for the good guys.

CBS…you get it right…60 Minutes…Madame Secretary…CBS This Morning (Sat & Sun mornings)…why would the network cancel such an intelligent show. NASA, Star Trek, NextGen…cutting edge shows who technology came to inhabit our daily lives in a postive manner. The script, the actors…all excellent…don’t allow this show to become the next “soap opera”..the lives of the patients keeps it fresh. Find a time slot that works for the the folks who relish this type of tv programming.
BRING IT BACK.. BEST SHOW ON TV
