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 Genius!
Please renew!!
Please, please, please CBS keep up your high standards and renew Pure Genius, if they cancel the show I really hope that another station picks it up because it really is a great show that deserves many more seasons, but if none of those options are meant to be I feel that CBS owes the fans of this great show at least a 2 hour series finale to bring us closure because I am sure fans like me want to know what happens to James, W, the hospital, etc.
Please do not cancel Pure Genius. I look forward to that show every week. The actors are so good and the show makes me cry every week. And I love it.
Renew! I cry during every episode. Hope, love, compassion and amazing imagination is needed in this world. And I add terminal patients should allow to be testers.
Fell in love with the show from the first episode. Renew please!!!!
Renew!!! This show is amazing! Give it a chance!! Please!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SHOW….. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON’T CANCEL IT!!!!!
I would renew for sure. There are other hospital shows but not like this.
I absolutely love the show Pure Genius and looked forward to watching it every Thursday night. It is disheartening to learn that yet another favorite show is about to be cancelled basically because it is just a good, decent, clean, and intellectually stimulating show. It never ceases to amaze me how so much of the junk/trash programs seem to stay on for years but most of the good, clean shows get cancelled basically because they were good, clean shows. Please CBS….consider your viewers…we are more than just your 18-49 demographic. Not everyone wants to watch violence/gore/vulgarity/etc. My 17 year old… Read more »
I love this show! It makes me imagine the medicine of the future.
Please renew for season two – I have really enjoyed the season and there are so many issues that need to be resolved and raised in another season
The show is enjoyable and right now the finale raised more questions than it resolved. so please renew for season two
Please do not cancel this series!!! It is almost the only a show I regularly seek out and watch.
