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.
One of the best shows on TV! Very uplifting and have watched every program. PLEASE renew Pure Genius for a Second Season!!
Bring it back for season 2. I love this show.
Please don’t cancel this show you didn’t give them a chance needs to have better time slot and day one that is not competitive like Chicago Med, ect
Renew the tv show, it was very interesting and knowledgeable of medical problems. We like to see it again, it was new for a lot of people give it some time, maybe another season .
Please, please keep this show, we really enjoyed it, so different from anything else.
I love Pure Genius it’s fresh and new and uplifting please don’t cancel this show we are so looking forward to new season.
Really enjoyed this show do much. Very different from most medial dramas. Please keep it on
I think a lot of other shows should be cancelled, before pure genius. I liked the show and was hoping it would be back, but as usual a good show gets cancelled and a bad show or shows stay on, all stations do it.
Please bring it back!
I really enjoy the story line, it took me awhile to get into the program but now that I had committed to regular programming the show stopped airing!
If Pure Genius does not return or other networks will take over, then I will not step down until it is put back on.
We love this show and looking forward to another season. It would be a shame for it not to be renewed.
Pure Genius is a very intelligent show, and we love it. Please do not cancel and pleas renew for a Season 2 and 3 and 4 etc….
I absolutely love this program, as does my husband. Please consider renewing it. I will be sad if you don’t. This program makes one think. I think it’s a brilliant show.
I think it would be a great loss to see Pure Genius cancelled.I think this has been one of my favorite shows on tv this past season.Please please renew.Great actors and great story lines.This show gives hope.
