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.
I know there are many hospital , doctor shows but none like this. PLEASE try and bring back
I was so sorry to see it cancelled! A positive show with great characters and interesting stories. I looked forward to watching it
Watched it every week. Sad when I couldn’t find it any more..please please bring it back
I love an intelligent show that makes one think. I am tired of the filth that they pass off as entertainment. I hate all of the so called reality shows when all they are, are persons desperate for their 15 minutes of fame.
Renew ” Pure Genius ” – I watch it every week ‘ I personally think it is the BEST TV SHOW !
I love this show. Please don’t cancelled it.
This is a cool show to watch, very interesting & I really like all the high tech medical equipment that hopefully could someday possibly be real. It’s a nice thought! Medical possibilities start with stories & imagination.
Renew the show it’s interesting and entertaining I watch it every week
I really think the series PURE GENIUS should come back.
Great stories and a thinking persons type of show. Probably just too smart of a show. What a shame is cancelled.
Don’t understand cancelling it while stealing the basic plot for a new series: APB. Having watched both a , I much prefer the original medical drama
This is one of those shows that takes a while to “catch on” – it’s interesting, fun, character driven and well written – CBS, give it a chance!
Love this show! Great actors! Not a lot of positive shows out there now. This show makes me think there is hope for mankind!
Please don’t cancel. It is a favorite of both my husband and myself
I really like Pure Genius and I hope it will be renewed!
I think the show is great .. don’t cancel it! As a 59 year old male it’s one of the better shows on TV.. just like when I was young with shows like st elsewhere and hill street blues.
