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.

I love Pure Genius so out of the box thinking an what science an tech might come to to save lives.. PLZ DON’T CANCEL…
Please bring Pure Genious back for a second season. Love the concept and fresh story lines of this new show!,,
Please don’t cancel pure genius. It is such a great show. It keeps you wanting to watch and touch all your emotions in ever episode. I have to know what happens to Angie’s mom and if the cure James found will work.. It would be a shame if this show was canceled one of my favorite shows!! Please pick up season 2..
I really love Pure Genius! It’s cool thinking ahead of what medical care could be like! I like the cast and I want to see what happens next!
Please do not cancel this show. Pure Genius has such fine, believable actors, and incredibly touching storylines. I’m sure the low ratings are due to the fact that people don’t know anything about the show. I never saw it advertised, and the late time slot isn’t fair for a new drama. It will be a shame if this show is not renewed.
Love the show.. please don’t cancel it. We watch it every and it never fails to keep our interest.
I love this show! Please don’t cancel!!
Love this show!! Please give us another season of great content and storylines
Best show I have seen in a long time , I watch this show every week religiously. Would be vary disappointed if canceled.
What a mistake to cancel this show – its the best. It provides people with hope that science will find more cures in the future. Don’t cancelled.
Renew. One of the most inspiring and good CLEAN entertainment out there. So few G rated programs. Either horror, which the market is saturated and so is cooking, or sex or murder.
Great new show. Look foward to seeing each episode of Pure Genius. One of the best shows in some time. Please renew, CBS!!!
I love Pure Genius! Shows what innovative thinking can accomp!ish. Great storyline! Great actors!!
I think it has been a terrific show. I’d like to see the series continue! 🙂
Please renew this show. In the coming year where all indications are that science will take a back seat, this show is a breath of fresh air.
