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.

Love this show! Please don’t cancel.
One of my favorite shows, LOVE Augustus Prew, what a tremendous expressive actor and Douglas Mulroney has always been a great actor. All the women are super also and the story’ s aren’t your common medical diagnosis
I really love this show. It is different than most hospital shows. It also makes you hope we are close to having a place like this in the real world. The cast is great.
I love this show. I hope it doesn’t get cancelled. I love the idea of our growing in technology, that might help on furthering treatments of many things. Like a story in a book, we go to a place of wonderful imagination. Love the staff and team at Bunker Hill. So dedicated to helping people get better.
Please do NOT cancel Pure Genius; this is not just ‘different’, it is thought-provoking and intelligent. There are very few TV shows of this calibre and to cancel it is a mistake.

Please reconsider keeping this show. So much talent all with great stories to tell. Wonderful actors, great writing, and all around an awsome show.
