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 do not cancel this show it is a very relaxing show to watch. I look forward to Thur. just to watch it. This show is interesting and has good acting and is just one of my favorite shows to watch.
I love this show. It really gives people hope that some where there is a hospital
that can cure illness. I look forward every week to see the next episode. Please
consider keeping this show on the air.
Please renew the show – one of the best currently on CBS.
Just think what would have been lost to us if MASH had been cancelled due to low ratings after the first season. Sometimes an inspiring show needs a bit more time to find its audience. Pure Genius is one of the best new shows of the season. It has heart, is compelling, has excellent acting and inspired storytelling. Please give it a chance. I look forward to viewing it every week and an added bonus is I learn something new as I go on a unique, progressive journey with the characters as they merge science, medicine and technology to save… Read more »
Pure Genius is a great show & very well done. As compared to some of the inferior shows that have been renewed (in my opinion) I seriously would like this show to come back for season 2. Please do not cancel.
This is a great show and it needs another season!
I find it hard to believe that “Pure Genius” might get cancelled but “Kevin Can Wait” is up for renewal!
I love the richness of human empathy that is the undercurrent of this show. It is quality programming. I fall more in love with the characters with each episode. Please give this show more exposure on The Talk, CBS This Morning. If you give it the marketing it deserves, this show will fly! The tech angle of the abilities of modern medicine, mixed with the real character of the hospital staff, then mix more humanity from the patients….. The result is indescribable . Give it ONE more season- properly marketed- this deserves to.be seen by more.people . They will.love it… Read more »

I feel you never gave the show a chance. I think it is a great show to inspire young people to get into medicine.
Please keep this show!!
Great Show. Makes you think. Shows compassion. Please keep this show on for the intelligent people who love to watch this show. Great choice of diverse actors. Shows respect toward Catholics by having a priest as a doctor. Also shows respect for the sanctity of life.
Please keep this amazing show.
PLEASE KEEP THIS SHOW!! My husband and I love this show. I think it’s great blend of actors and good storylines. We look forward to watching this show every week!
This is a great show. I wasn’t crazy about it after the first episode but as the season went on, the cast really grew on me and I love it. Please don’t end it. Too many good shows get thrown out. Try a different day or time if the ratings are low!
