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.

Please renew this show. I really enjoy it.
Please keep it!!!! This show is awesome and has a great storyline.
For goodness sake 5 million viewers is not bad and this show gets better and better and gives us hope. Do not cancel it.
We love Pure Genius! It is like Scorpion, a quality, thought provoking show that has such interesting characters, and plot lines! There is so little on cable that is worth watching – I may just cancel my subscription and stick to Netflix if this gem is cancelled.
Absolutely enjoy this show………..not your typical medical show. Both my husband and I enjoy the optimism and challenges they try to conquer every week.
Keep it. Nice to have a show with optimism and with regard to its medicin, boldly goes to new places. The real cando American Spirit
Please renew this show.
Pure genius is an amazing show please don’t take it off the air
I recently found this series while channel surfing! Finally, a good show that is very under promoted by CBS -that is a terrible shame. Please renew this well written and acted series for a second season.
Great show…I only recently found it flipping through channels. Terribly under promoted by CBS. Good storyline and we’ll written. It would certainly be an awful decision to cancel this gem of a show.
Please continue with Pure Genius. The actors are superb and great story lines which highlight the cutting edge of medical technology. For many people facing life threatening diseases or progressive illnesses, this show gives a glimmer that there his hope on the horizon. Suggestion: put it in an earlier time slot so more viewers can take advantage of this wonderful program. Good writing. Please do not cancel
Love the show because it’s different than any other show written. Love to see a second season!!
please renew pure genius. we watch 32 shows on cbs and this ranks at the top even considering all our old favorites. some of your other new shows being renewed are a waste of time and require to thought process.
YES!!! I love this show. Please renew it.
We have enjoyed this show so much! The interaction among the staff and the stories of the patients are compelling. Please do not replace this with another violent show with bad guys and killing — there are enough of those. There is nothing wrong with a happy ending.
