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 this show one of the best shows ever great cast !! The show is such a feel good show showing people with such compassion for people !!
Absolutely love this show! I really hope there is a season 2. Finally a good show that isn’t about violence.
In my opinion it should be renewed for season two.
I also really don’t understand why they ended the show with an episode like that! It is as if you were giving a speech and all of a sudden you stopped talking mid-sentence and left. Very disrespectful!
Oh yes please.. one of my favorite shows this year.. need to renew it please!
I would love to see come back it is a great show and I love the people on it they are so smart be smart renew

Bring back, “Pure Genius”; it is the best new show on TV. Interesring. Engaging. Exciting. Entertaining. Heartwarming. What more could a person want from a 1-hour television broadcast in this day and age? Be smart! Renew “Pure Genius”!
PLEASE BRING PURE GENIUR BACK. IT SEEMS CBS DOESN’T GIVE SHOWS A CHANCE FOR SUCCESS.
Eight of the top 10 shows is from CBS. They know exactly what is a winner and what isn’t. Pure Genius isn’t. The first couple episodes were good but it quickly became boring and hard to watch.
This has been a very interesting addition to the lineup! I have enjoyed every show that I’ve watched. Please keep it going!
Bring it back people are afraid to watch anything new because you cancel everything or change the cast all the darn time, leave it alone and let it grow, we have enough cop shows, dr shows criminal shows etc…please bring it back and watch it grow it’s Genus !
This is a great show…Please do not cancel it……I love it…One of the best shows this year….
Please renew, Love this show. Please please!!
