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.
We love the show. Please bring it back!
Please do not cancel Pure Genius, it is an excellent show
This show is just wonderful it gives hope that television isn’t all game shows, sitcoms and reality tv. Pleas do not cancel.
I love the show, get rid of the stupid sitcoms and keep this kind of programming.
This is one of the best shows on TV. I usually have to watch it on demand because it’s on at a time I can’t watch regularly. After this week’s episode, the last one, I quickly Googled to see when the next season starts. I was SHOCKED to see it was being pulled!! PLEASE don’t cancel it!! Please
I LOVED the show. It was medicine & technology collaboration, saving & enhancing lives. Shame good clean tv shows aren’t appreciated anymore.
Please renew ! Great show that deserves a chance. I have no one in my circle of acquaintance that has not enjoyed Pure Genius. All ages.
