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.

This is a great show
Rarely ever does a show come on TV that raises the IQ of the viewer to the point of understanding human dignity, and the compassion of saving peoples lives in such dramatic form as “Pure Genius” has done for me. It is by far one of the most intelligent shows on TV and I was always wanting more. Another one of your shows also was intelligent in the same way of drawing the viewer in, “The Good Wife”. I miss it and wanted it back, and I most definitely vote for Pure Genius to return to the air. Give us… Read more »

Hi Jennifer, I have written a review of “pure Genius” as I saw it and feel you will agree as to my points cause it seems we have the same feelings about the show. Thank you.
Pure Genius should be renewed. It is wholesome and shows great value in what science may offer to health problems that don’t fall within the norm. It also, provides a great visual for empathy, concern, true caring, team work, kindness, disappointment, and success. It’s one of the few shows that leaves you feeling positive about life and mankind. What a great way to end a day.
Please renew this show. My husband and I love it and have watched every episode. The characters are interesting, the plots are well written and well acted, and the science is cutting edge and hopeful.
I am hooked on this show. I felt like from the beginning, the cast really clicked well and did not go thru the growing pains of finding the right mix of characters that typically take several seasons. The shows were intriguing and heartwarming all at the same time. I recorded every episode and have watched them over and over just waiting for the next season to begin. Please bring this back. I talked about it constantly to my friends and work associates. They are all hooked now.
We really like this show and watch very episodeI am a scientist and find the topic fascinating.: scien is correct and hopeful; wringin an acting excellent. Please renew
Can’t believe this is being cancelled. Show is inventive and positive when there’s so many shows that aren’t. Cancel MacGyver instead. Hopefully some other network is smart enough to pick up this jewel
