What do you think? Are you watching Pure Genius? Do you think it should be renewed?
Love the show……DON’T CANCEL,
Please do not cancel this show. Love it
Renew for sure
Please renew! I love this show. We can’t afford to lose such an inspirational and uplifting show in our current environment.
PLEASE RENEW – we need an uplifting and positive show today, in this dark and scary world.
Renew. Such a great show!
Please keep this show going. Best show I’ve seen in a long time!! One of the few shows I enjoy watching.
Renew
Renew! We really enjoy this shoe.
Pure Genius is such a breathe of fresh air among so many stale shows out there and I don’t understand why it didn’t do so well in the ratings. Perhaps the 10pm time slot didn’t help? Or the fact that it aired right after 4 half hour comedies, which did not set the mood for an hour long drama. I hope CBS gives it another chance. All of us invested in the show have been left seriously hanging!
Keep it going feat show. Just started watching it and it should be renewed
Episodes very variable in quality but overall promising and intriguing, should not be cancelled. Much more intelligent and entertaining than 80% of the garbage out there. Keep it going CBS!
I have enjoyed watching Pure Genius season one and was very disappointed when I heard CBS is not ordering another season. There are FAR worse shows on CBS and other networks. Maybe CBS needs better advertising for this wonderful show that shows a promising future in Healthcare. Real or not it has a very interesting storyline. Shame on CBS for not giving the show a chance.
This series is not only entertaining, it is interesting, well written and not violent. The science, the dedication, the relationships, the crisis each week plus a thread of a story running week to week make this one of the best shows that Ive watched in a very long time. Please make a season 2 for this show.
Please keep the show going, it’s amazing!!
