What do you think? Are you watching Pure Genius? Do you think it should be renewed?
This show is amazing in that it opens up what will be in the very very near future for our medical profession. It should not be cancelled.
I LOVE the show! Please renew!
This the first show that I can relate to being that some of their ideas are really great, might get doctors to start rethinking treatments.
This show is superb. It should be renewed for a second season.
I watch this show regularly, I also record it so I can rewatch it in case I get distracted or fall asleep. I’m tired of all the reality shows that insult anyones intelligence. Yes it is futuristic in the Medical field, but many of these things are close to becoming ready for trial testing. Please continue the series, I feel the actors are well selected for their parts.
I love this show. Love it so much. Please do not cancel!
Great show, great cast, great chemistry, interesting ideas… Keep it on the air!
We love watching this show. Don’t send it away, give it season 2 and beyond.
I have enjoyed this show very much. One of the better shows on TV. It’s a show about hope, and about a team working together to innovate new treatments for those often without hope. Please don’t cancel this show!!
I enjoy the show. Please don’t cancel!!!
Please renew PURE GENIUS! My whole family watches every week. We also Dvr it for a rewatch and discussion later in the week. This is one of the greatest shows put out in the last 10 years. Please give it a chance!!!!
I do watch this excellent show. It would be a shame to cancel it. From the comments, I agree that changing the time from 10 PM to an earlier time would be beneficial. I look forward every week to seeing what new medical miracle the writers come up with. Please Don’t Cancel
Yes I watch the show and I love it. I feel that it is a show ahead of its time which is why I love it. Its cutting edge. Please renew for at least a summer outing.
It the best show you have on it would be a mistake or atleast change the time slot so more people could see it.its really an amazing show along with the cast and it deserves a second chance
I love this show please don’t cancel it.
