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. We love it!! So nice compared to the other junk that’s on. Please don’t cancel it
This is a nice show to just simply enjoy and invest in the story. Sometimes that is what makes the show worth watching and saving. I hope CBS invests in the future of this show and what it gives to those of us who have invested in a good welcoming feel good show that you want to watch next week. It would be a shame to lose this show because I feel it will only get better with time.
Incredible show that should absolutely continue.
I absolutely love this show! I think it’s a brilliant concept. The fact is that this is the future of medicine. The actors do an amazing job showing the emotion, the heart and love for there patients. I usually cry at every episode (but in a good way). I think this will have the same influence as star trek did on technology. It moves us to think of what could be and what it means to take care of each other.

Please please please renew this show!!! I will be so sad if CBS doesn’t renew the show. I’m a fan of the Shonda Rhimes “ShondaLand” Greys Anatomy but I think this show tops that show! Also I really want to know what’s going to happen with James and the GSS and what will become of the decision with the FDA when he chose to save Louis! Then u can’t just end the show and not tell us what becomes of Angie and the Priest with that long overdue kiss they shared. And not to mention what will the situation be… Read more »
