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.
Definitely should be renewed. Great science and medicine combined.
Love this show. Can’t cancel and leave us wanting to know what happened to everyone.
Great Show, please renew! A lot better than a lot of stuff on tv.
my favorite medical show. it needs one more year in a better time slot. the show started very late in the year and never had a chance with the viewers. its a great show, very emotional and is so much better than any of the other medical shows.
the characters are very enjoyable to watch
This is now our FAVORITE show on tv and I cannot believe the network is considering cancelling it! It is very well done, interesting, exciting and has had me on the verge of tears several times! With all the crummy shows on tv today, why would they want to get rid of such a high quality show? Maybe they just need to advertise it a little bit…we learned about it from someone else who loves it, but not because we saw any ads or anything from the network! PLEASE RENEW THIS SHOW and for a full season…not this 13 epsidoe… Read more »
Excellent show…well written, well-acted, very emotional and not too sci-fi to not be believable…PLEASE RENEW!
Please do not cancel pure genius. It is such a really great show. No violence, no foul language, advanced medical possibilities and a truly wonderful cast that makes you believe they are almost a family.
I am just found this show and find it to be very good. I think it should be given another season and a better time slot. It is nice to find a show that gives hope.
Amazing, a show like 2 Broke Girls is still on air and Pure Genius is cancelled. Not all of us want to watch programs full of raunchy sex joke. Please renew this show.
Please don’t cancel!!! My favorite show currently!!!
Do not cancel! Great show that creates hope and faith that the world is more than just about money. CBS, get a better slot time and advertise better! Your missing the value of the show!
Do not cancel this show. My husband, son & myself all very much enjoy this show. Our son is a firefighter & frequently isn’t available when the show airs Thursday nights, so as a rule I record it and we watch it when the three of us can sit down and have lunch together the next day or two.
Renew, it is one of the few dramas on tv I like.
It should be renewec
Would love to see this show return for Season Two. One of the best new shows this year.
