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 bring back pure genus. It was one of my favorite. Show
I would love to see a 2nd season of Pure Genius, it was different to the usual medical dramas and I want to see the characters develop. It is really annoying not knowing what happens next!
I watched every episode and will continue to do so if renewed.
All of my family loves Pure genius. Has been the best show I have seen in a long time…so since if all the hate and murder and gore or blood on slot every show. Was so nice to see a positive show. Would really hate it if it doesn’t get renewed.
Why oh why do you always cancel my favorite shows? I loved Pure Genius! Makes me want to just give up on tv!
I will be thoroughly disappointed if pure genius does not get a second season
PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL THIS SERIES. I LOVE THIS SHOW AND LOOK FORWARD TO IT. IT IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!
DO NOT cancel this series PLEASE!!! My husband and I love it. We always pvr it so we never miss an episode. It’s one medical show on tv that actually gives you a good feeling and so refreshing compared to all the silly reality shows!
Hi, my name is Patricia and I’m from Brazil. Please, do not cancel Pure Genius. It’s an amazing show. Watching it I restart to believe in medicine and kindness of humanity. I hope that my feelings are considerated. Thank you.
I love Pure Genius. My husband and I have watched it from day one – it is a breath of hope in world that sometimes seems hopeless. The acting is excellent and the story lines are relevant. It would be a shame for it to be cancelled.
We just started watching not long ago and loved the show! Give it another season. Too many CSI shows. This was entertaining. Please bring it back
This is one show that I record if I cannot watch it live. I love the science and search for answers to medical questions. All are based on real life cutting-edge science going on somewhere in the world even though those technics may be many years if ever before they are common medical practices. I hope the network reconsiders cancellation and runs season 2 and more in the future. I hate programs that are mostly all hype and hoop and no real thought provoking scoop. This program always made me ask questions throughout each episode.
I love this show and can’t believe it is going to be cancelled. I get happy tears when they save someone. It’s not like the other medical shows where you want to cry when someone dies. Please keep it on the air. I love the entire cast and look forward to the show every week.
Love Pure Genuis!. Feel good show with views of how medicine can really be without all the greed and jaded views. Actually explores the future of medicine. This is my 13 y/o son’s favorite show by far. Please renew for another season.
Pure Genius is an amazing show! I looked forward to watching it each week. I just found out it’s been cancelled and I’m hoping CBS will reconsider. This show is one of the shows worth watching, given many of the programs on television these days do not Inspire hope or provide much intellectual stimulation. It is interesting, invigorating and all around a terrific show. I hope that if CBS does not decide to renew for another season, that someone else will be willing to pick up this amazing series as I believe many viewers will continue to be interested in… Read more »
