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.

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.

This show is amazing! It seems the networks so quickly give up on great programs! We need these feel good shows !
I really enjoyed and was looking forward wvery week to see what new discoveries were to come. PLEASE do not cancel this show and maybe change days.
LOVED that show! Who knows…maybe it was too good for the dumbed down American audience. There are almost no good TV shows anymore.
Finally, an uplifting show that the entire family can get into. Shades of Star Trek. Don’t let this one fall through the cracks. Renew for another year and see where it takes you!
Love this show do not cancel
Also, I read one critic called Pure Genius malpractice. Perhaps he doesn’t understand entertainment. Or does he believe all tv is based on fact?!?
This, along with Limitless, are two of the best shows we’ve seen in quite a while. After telling friends of these two series, we’ve gotten them hooked and now both shelved! Story lines are quite quite unique and addictive.
Please don’t cancel Pure Genius, I really love it!! It’s so uplifting and really touches the heart with each episode. Great cast, please keep it going for season 2.
Don’t cancel great show not much good tv anymore this was a good show
