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 don’t watch that much tv but Pure Genius is one that I watch or DVR.
This lady from Ohio says let have a second season.
Medical shoes like “Red Band Society” that are uplifting and “Pure Genius” that is forward thinking, always seem to get low ratings. But so did “Star Trek”, forward thinking and look what devices have come true, and the following it STILL has! Keep “Pure Genius” next season!!
I love this show. It seems like every time I find a clean show that I love it gets dropped. Please bring it back.
Please keep Pure Genius on the air. It is a great show
I love this show. It’s uplifting, an educational. The actors and actress’s are great I watch every week and can’t wait til Thurs. Please bring back this show.
I really love Pure Genius. This is a feel good show that makes people feel full of hope. Please do not cancel the show. Please give it the chance it deserves.
