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 moving! Please renew!
Everyone I know LOVES this show. Go to CBS.com and then using the search bar, type in “Feedback”. There you can make your wishes known, and perhaps it may be more effective than this platform. I have written to CBS numerous times this way. I love this show so much I could put it on a continuous loop. I love everything about it, but mostly the fact that it is completely devoid of vampires or real housewives from anywhere, USA…etc. It’s unique, intelligent and full of heart, with a dynamic ensemble cast! Brain-dead critics give it a low rating, while… Read more »

My husband and I love this show! It’s a very unique and positive show that gives us all hope for the future. Actors are great too! Please renew!!
My husband and I love this show. Unfortunately we record this show so I am not sure it shows in the ratings. Please,please, please renew for a second season.
Best show on TV. Please renew for season 2
So interesting when a show like this comes on TV and ratings are low. As a population, we need the James Bells of the world, who have the insight, courage and the financial means to develop ideas and make the most of what technology has to offer. As we age and our bodies break down, we need those ideas to keep us going. Where do we think the next medical advancements will come from without characters like James Bell and “W”? Augustus Prew plays a character who is infectious and brilliant. It just shows how sad we are to not… Read more »
Yes, RENEW!
Such an amazing show! I do not think it should be cancelled.
