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.
Great Show. It should be renewed. It’s nice to see a show that is about technology in saving life’s.

One of the better written shows on. A very good cast that continued to work better and better as the year progressed. It would be a shame to shut it down before it has had the chance to really prove it’s worth.

So many ppl download or stream these days that CBS doesn’t get the full rating
There are so many that are tech savvy & able to find ways to watch these shows via internet & without commercials. When people watch this way, it doesnt register anywhere on CBS tracking…Much of the people watching this show have an interest in technology, medicine & hope for the future. These are also the ones who are more likely to be among the tech-savvy. CBS doesn’t receive the info it needs to make their decision…
To all the geniuses who find ‘Pure Genious’ so rewarding: In our crazy, negatively charged world of today, ‘Pure Genius’ shows us what could happen when good people work together to gives us hope for a positive future. The combination of technology with medicine and people with pure hearts working to improve life for all (one person at a time) is the epitome of value that television can offer to humankind.
