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.

Love Pure Genius
Make more. Finally a hopeful show where people are kind. And beautifully done – the scenery, architecture, people and gadgets. Don’t cancel this, we need such a show
I really like this show. I think “James Bell” is a great character – his facial expressions are always spot on. I like the rest of the cast, too. What I wouldn’t give to be a patient at Bunker Hill if I really was sick.
This is the best show on TV never miss it also have watched each episode several times please renew for season 2
My husband and I love it. I am a retired ER/ICU/CCU/OPEN HEART nurse. This show is really on the cutting edge of reality. Just love the people, patients and stories. Please renew Pure Genius!
I loved the show! Never missed an episode! Please bring it bback
Please do not cancel pure genius it is a great show!!
Loved the shpw please don’t cancel it
My husband and I both LOVE Pure Genius. It has believable problems and I think we’re looking at the wave of the future in medical facilities. I love all the characters and don’t know why you would cancel such a great show?? Why is it all the shows that people seem to love get canceled?? Please DON’T cancel this show!!!
I look forward to this show each week and hope it gets renewed.
This is such a great show hope they do not cancel give it a chance
Pure Genious is fantastic and fresh. It would be a travesty to cancel this show!
O love the show! Please do not cancel It!
My husband and I loved this show and I alos know that my brother and his wife enjoy. It is a show that is truly worth sitting down and living every moment with the actors. I prefer watching a show like Pure Genius then other garbage that passes by.
We love this show!!! Can’t understand why a show that is so positive would be cancelled! Hard to find anything good anymore to watch. Was nice to have something that had a positive tone and showed people are really willing to go above and beyond to help one another. This world could use a lot more of this.
