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.

Please renew Pure Genis. It was so nice to watch a show where people cared so much about helping others.
Love this show! Definitely renew!
Please renew Pure Genius CBS. It is a great show with wonderful acting and storylines.
We love Pure Genius. Please don’t cancel it.
Please, please renew! Our whole family loves to watch this TV show. We never watch drama medical shows but this one involves science and technology in the story lines and we are hooked. Other medical shows have too much drama, not enough substance. It is in the top five of our priority list on our DVR out of 45 shows. Give it some time to get a following. Also, the 10:00 pm time slot is tough, move it to 9:00 pm. Then we wouldn’t have to DVR it in the first place.
It would be great if you renewed this show. It has great story lines, and it makes you feel good. We need more shows that make you feel good, we do not need more shows with violence.
