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 have watched Pure Genius from the first episode on. I wondered about at first and was worried it would go the route of Grey’s Anatomy.

Come on Its only been 13 episodes, CBS needs to give It a chance to pick up followers. It hasnt had enough time or exposier to pick the numbers and follower up yet. The show Is Pure Genious and will pick up followers as the show goes on just like Scorpion did, which Is another brillant CBS TV show. The show just has not had enough time. Atleast give It one more season and get the word out their It will become the next Greys Anatomy or E.R, people love medical show. This will become big!
