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.
It’s a great show, it needs more than one season to prove it has loyal followers. Please renew it.
We love Pure Genius, please don’t cancel it!
PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL this excellent show! It’s about hope and love and trying, all really positive things. Give it a chance to find its audience by ordering more episodes. We are a household of four women aged 21 to 69 and it is our first choice when choosing what to watch together.
Ugh I hit the wrong answer. I want another season for sure! This show is AWESOME
My husband and I love Pure Genius! Please bring it back for one more season and re-assess. Maybe by then I’ll learn how to pronounce “Divia’s” new name. The show has some very interesting plots.
Its a good show. I recorded the season and finished watching it and would love to see more
Please don’t cancel Pure Genius
Pure Genius is an amazing show. One season is not enough time to judge the popularity of a show. This is a smart intelligent show that should be given more of a chance
I hope that Prue Genius is not cancelled. This one of the best shows on TV. Cancel the Reality shows. It always seems they cancel the good shows.
Yes renew the series. This is by far one of the best medical shows I have seen in a long time. I would love to see what happens to Bunker Hill! And Dr. Wallace!
There are over 40,000 folks on the Pure Genius Facebook page who all want it renewed. Check it out! Show might do better in an earlier timeslot…
