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 was hooked after watching the first episode, this is an amazing show please renew for a second season. I don’t think you gave it enough of an opportunity to develop a good audience! It is so much better than a lot of the other garbage reality TV shows.
We love this show! It’s so heartwarming & amazing that they can invent things to help people with serious problems & it gives hope to people watching that need some of the same miracles!
please don’t cancel the show it is really good i saw the first season in 3 DAYS because every episode was better than the last one and i couldn’t stop watching it!!!
I love the show and the characters. There is not much good on t.v. anymore, just moronic comedy for young adults!
I feel it should be renewed. I thought it was a great show.
This series is unque and deserves a second season. Shows like this starts slow but will build audience if given a chance.
The network needs to stop dropping series in there first season and advertise the aspects of why this series is worth the viewers time. I have peesonally put 8 of my friends & family on to this series and they are now faithful viewers evey week.
What we don’t need is more reality/jiggle TV.
I find this series refreashing and satisfying.
I LOVE Pure Genius. It is THE best medical show that’s come along in many years!!! Crazy to cancel it. PLEASE keep this show and give it a chance for a following or make it a Netflix series. Don’t just trash something with this kind of quality~
Please, please keep this show on! It is an awesome show with an awesome message about caring for others. I love it!!!!
