The team members on the Pure Genius TV show work together to save lives. It’s a noble cause but will their stories attract enough viewers to bring big ratings? Will this new CBS TV series be cut down in its prime (cancelled) or, will it be renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
Pure Genius follows top medical professionals 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. Others on the team are played by Odette Annable, Reshma Shetty, Aaron Jennings, Ward Horton, and Brenda Song.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available.

Pure Genius is certain to gain traction. It is a well written show that is fun and serious at the same time. I was made aware of this show after three episodes.

Absolutely love this show!! Please keep!!
I rarely find a network TV show which I still do appt watching. Pure Genius is that for me. I just think it needs to find its audience. To match science, technology and humanity is a winner.

I love the show and think that it needs to stay on air! We need more shows with substance, hope and the desire to help others instead of all this ridiculous crap that is on TV today!!!
Of course

An 18 year old would not even appreciate a show like this!!! Where is the logic. The crap that is on tv now ain’t worth spit! Reality shows- sh*t, pure and simple grow some guys and see the… Read more »
