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.

5/15/17 update: CBS has cancelled Pure Genius after one season. Details here.
Please please please renew i love this show. I am so tired of the zombie creep type shows that attract so many. Finally a series that brings to light all the medical issues of our day. Awesome cast they work well and synch on screen
Great show with great cast & stories of amazing medical technologies. We watch every week and anticipate the next episode always. Please renew for a second season.
My family loves this show. James Bell is a great character, never wanting to give up on anyone. We need more people like this in the world.
My daughter and I love it and are addicted already
This is a really great, inspiring show!! The music is excellent, very uplifting. And the ensemble cast is very appealing. I just bought the whole season on Amazon Prime. Bring on Season 2!!
I love this show and I’m even a retired senior lady that tends to back off tech type shows, except for Scorpion. I love having a longer midseason for new and alternate shows to have there turn, and give me a change. and earlier Winter season with different shows added. Perhaps Pure Genius would and a better opportunity to catch on as a midseason series. Please don’t cancel another GREAT show!!!
Lots of CANCELLATIONS this fall. Here is another one. people aren’t as brilliant as they think they are.
We absolutely LOVE this show! Finally a show with an intelligent, well-written plot line that also provides a peek into innovative state-of-the-art science! Please keep this show, since it one of the very few shows offered on TV that is entertaining for a more intellectual audience! We deserve at least one good show to watch — and this is it! Save Pure Genius!!
Season 2
I love it, please DON’T cancel!!!!!!!!!!!
I watch Pure Genius every week and it is always amazing and entertaining. Tonight’s episode of 11/24/16 was just fantastic. Do not cancel just a great show.
Please don’t cancell this show, I love this show, I rewatch (DVR) it all the time. The cast work great together, and James with his need to fix everyone. We need more shows that give us hope for tomorrow.
