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.
I absolutely love this show. It is a shame that you would cancel a show that shows such hope in such a negative world that we are living in right now.
This is exactly what we need on tv these days, a great show that shows what could be done if people forgot about the money and just fixed the problem. This show is amazing and if they are dumb enough to cancel it then it just tells you that they really don’t look at the show content just the numbers on some screen showing viewers – and those numbers aren’t even correct as they don’t account for most pvrs/dvrs and the online audience so just make the second season of what could be one of the best shows on tv… Read more »

Please don’t let it go! My 13 year old daughter talked me into watching this, and I am hooked! The awesome ways that they use technology to help people is very fascinating!
I just want to echo the sentiments below. My wife is a medical professional, and normally I don’t like medical shows. Not so with this one. Very interesting and entertaining. I also liked 3 and a half pounds and Three Rivers, of which neither succeeded.
