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.

5/15/17 update: CBS has cancelled Pure Genius after one season. Details here.
Please don’t cancel this great show!!
Pure Genius has to he renewed. It is very interesting and entertaining! There are not too many shows that I have to watch each week but this is one of them. I really enjoyed the season finale. We need to be able to find out what happens next! Please reconsider and order a season 2 of Pure Genius!
I LOVE this show too. There are so many shows on TV that are all the same (they just gave them a different name). This is a unique show that is really very interesting and also involves the heart. Both from a visual aspect (the technologies they use) and plot aspect, Pure Genius is top notch! The actors are well cast and the premise of the show is exceptional. Please bring another season back!!!! It really seems all the good shows get cancelled!
Love this show- one of the few interesting things on tv and great cast- provides awesome entertainment!!!
I work in a hospital in a medium size city in the northeast U.S. I would like to say that after my day’s work it’s nice to watch a television series that depicts the good things that do happen in real life, it’s refreshing to watch after the things I see in real life. Please don’t cancel this show.
In a society with so many horrible things happening this show is something to look forward to.
Please reconsider your decision to cancel this show.
Please don’t cancel Pure Genius! It is one of the best new television shows this season! We look forward to watching it each week! The season finale left us wanting more!!!
We absolutely love Pure Genius!! Please do not cancel one of the best new shows on television!! We look forward to watching each week! The season finale left us wanting more!
I LOVE pure genius show. If they cancel i will be so upset. I watch a lot of tv and i can tell a good show and a bad one and this show is too amazing. I can’t get enough of it. Im just so sick of the good shows being canceled and the bad ones some how making it through. So please bring pure genius back for season two. I NEED to see what happens next:)
I think CBS doesn’t realize what an amazing series they have in their lineup with Pure Genius. I have to watch it on demand because of my schedule, it is one of the shows that I can hardly wait to watch. Please don’t cancel this innovative medical series, the cast and the storyline are the best.
We love Pure Genius please bring it back for season 2
It is one of the few series I watch. But I watch it On Demand because frankly 10PM is just to late for me. That said I have not missed an episode. It provides an interesting peak into the future of medicine and the interaction between the characters is just starting to get interesting. Perhaps CBS can bring it back as a “summer” series, like Royal Pains was.
Please renew! I love this show!! The characters and story lines are so unique!!!! I love james and always look forward to what he will do each week!!! Please don’t cancel!!!!
ARE THEY CRAZY,THIS HAS BEEN THE MOST INNOVATIVE MEDICAL SHOW EVER TO COME OUT. IT HAS DRAMA IT HAS PASSION IT HAS AFFECTION , I CANT WAIT ALL WEEK FOR THE NEXT EPISODE. I CANT UNDERSTAND WHY THE RATINGS ARE SO LOW? IT MAKES YOU CRY IT MAKES YOU LAUGH AND IT MAKES YOU LOVE ,WHAT ELSE IS THEIR?
THEY KEEP PLAYING CRAP AND THEY CANCELL GREAT SHOWS BEFORE THEYVE HAD A CHANCE TO TAKE OFF. RECONSIDER YOURE DECISION,IT WILL BE A HIT.
Agree 100%! I am so upset with CBS. Did it ever occur to them that they should have considered a new time slot? Get rid of the reality trash, and some of the poorly written comedies in which actors are basically yelling their lines. Save Pure Genius. Dermot Mulroney has been fantastic on this show! The show is fresh and creative. Best medical show of the decade!
I think that it is a great show and they should give it more time to catch on.
