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.
This is the absolutely best show. It is entertaining and spellbinding. It has great heart and shows commitment, love, devotion and faith. The writing, acting and staging are superior. Perhaps it will also influence the FDA to give cedibility to “the right to try”. You MUST save this show. Thank you.uHk2a
please don’t cancel pure genius. It’s interesting and not just another run of the mill procedural medical or law enforcement show. Well worth watching…
This is such a well written great show please do not cancel
A smart and innovative medical show with great characters. Bring it back!
Please do not cancel PURE GENIUS. This is a series for humanity. The tech and medical mix gives up hope for the future. This is my favourite TV drama. The cancellation of PURE GENIUS gives me one more reason to cut the cable.
Run it another season. It is a very good show and I agree that this show beats the typical mindless sitcoms. Maybe a little more Promoting of the show would help?
Great show….please do not cancel
Love the show!! I’m 41 & I watch this show every week with my 15 yr old son. Its our time that we spend together. Please keep it on! We need more family shows that we can watch together!!! #puregeniusrenewed
Don’t cancel! Truly an excellent show. Only watch about five shows and this is at the top of the list.
PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL THIS SERIES. Get rid of the mindless reality TV and seen it, done it before, sitcoms. No, I am not in the 18 – 24 viewer range. BUT, I do pay the bills for the programming in this household.
KEEP THIS SHOW!
