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. Great concept, great show. I’ve been binge watching off our TiVo and vote for many more episodes ans seasons
remember when star trek was cancelled and how it turned into a following. I think pure genius is a diamond in the rough
Please renew Pure Genius–it is that, Pure Genius!! It examines the medical profession from a different and futuristic aspect which, no doubt, some of the procedures used will come reality. Love the professionalism of the characters both in their daily work and personal interactions.
Renew it!!!!!! We love that show!!!!!!
Please renew this show. Unlike all the other shows on TV, this one gives viewers hope for the future. Anyone who has a loved one suffering from a serious disease can take strength from a show that projects today’s technology into the future and offers the potential for solutions to intractable problems. There’s so much murder and mayhem on TV and in our world, that it’s worth gold to have a show that brings hope and positivity into our lives. At least try it on another night. I can’t watch it when it’s on, but I tape all the episodes… Read more »
This show is fantastic, breaking away from the normal tropes of medical dramas, and focusing on the morality and technological advances of medicine. As well as focusing on hope: even in dire situations, and even when sometimes there is the wrong outcome. The combination of medicine and science is the perfect new take on a medical show! In summary: The shows premise is solid, the execution is excellent, the characters are relatable, sympathetic, and charismatic, and overall it is simply a beautiful show! Even the episodes that end on a somber note are beautiful! It is a show that is… Read more »
Please renew the show. It was hard to catch during the holidays because I thought it was on a break, but I love the new view on the medical field. If you do candle please give it a movie spot ending to finish the stories up. Got to see who goes to jail?
Please keep this show. It is original when so many shows are retreads of old shows or have the same theme of current shows. Training Day is perfect example. As is McGyver and Hawaii Five-O. I am saddened by the lack of effort by CBS to create new shows.
Please renew it!!!! its a new medical show for the milenialls to get into (like Grey’s Anatomy for our parents)
