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.

Hoping this show gets a second season
Feel it has great potential and love the versatility in each episode.
Please don’t cancel this show!!!! It’s refreshing to see a show that really makes you think about something other than “who done it”. Pure Genius is awesome and it would be a mistake not to renew it.
This show is how I hope the future of medicine and hospitals can be. Please
give us a positive look at medical dramas. Please don’t cancel this show.
This show has great bones, let it prove so to the public. In addition to having a second season, air reruns in the summer and I bet more people will become hooked on the show.
Please give this show a chance. I hope you choose to do a second season. It wold be s shame if cancelled I’m sure it will pick up more as its aired. People need hope and this show provides it.
i thank it a great show i just found it watch back epos. love to see more than one season it touches my heart most shows have no way to touch my heart but every epos make me want more please don’t cancel it this is what we need in our life not all the reality stuff or all crime it about want to help you fellow man and god will bless you if you keep it on thank you for letting me coment on it paul
Do not CANCEL this show! This process may enlighten the general population to the advances in our medical world. Some of these stories are way out of the box however the processes are actually taking on this avenue of treatment. Keep the show on and give it a chance.
Here in Palo Alto this should have been a reality before all the driverless cars. This show is positive and hopefully inspiring enough that someone should actually build a hospital like Bunker Hill.
Please DON’T CANCEL!!!!! This is such a great show. Very well written, and gives you hope but more importantly it inspires you to be better, think outside the box and that if you put your mind to it ANYTHING can be achieved. I can’t think of any other show out there that has anything close to this to offer. This show needs a second chance.
Please keep this show, we all need hope!
CBS — Please reconsider your decision to cancel this wonderful show. My wife and I love it! Give it more time.
I truly hope that CBS does not cancel this show. We love it!! So well written with terrific acting. Give it a chance. We need a lot more of this kind of show and less reality shows. It demonstrates good values, what technology and dedication can accomplish and HOPE!!! All things that the world needs more of. What a better way to spend our TV time. And it is not too far fetched. It is written to make you believe that these things are all a possibility in the near future. Let’s try a season 2 and I am sure… Read more »
So eloquently put, I only hope that CBS knows that so many viewers feel this way and give us another season!!!
If not I’ll have to drive down to Netflix and see if they’ll pick it up.
It’s a great show!
My whole family is in love with this show and the ages range from 50-14 years! PLEASE PLEASE renew this show! It’s an amazing and feel good to top it off, not many show show empathy and it is greatly needed in this country! Don’t give up on Bunkerhill! One of the best shows in years!
please don’t cancel this show , it’s the best show ever
We have really enjoyed this show and are very disappointed to hear that it hasn’t been renewed. The interesting tech that it shows is great for getting preteens and teens interested in the “possibilities” out there in terms of future innovations to come and the cast seems to work well. Wish they’d reconsider.
Please do not cancel this show. It is so heartfelt as well as innovative and forward thinking. Positive thoughts bring positive outcomes. When need more of this.
