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.

What do you think? Do you like the Pure Genius TV show on CBS? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for season two?
5/15/17 update: CBS has cancelled Pure Genius after one season. Details here.
Need season 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 never to end….. I love the way they discuss cases, find solutions, follow on clues and hit it hard…… The adrenalline keeps pumping as the cases get complex…..
Pure Genius has been the best Medical TV show since Greys Anatomy first aired, which I no longer watch. I couldn’t wait for Thursday night at 9 pm all week. It feels so real, the emotion, the exceptional medical challenges and breakthroughs. It is an embracing feel good show, even when the end result is not so good for a patient. That’s real life. The cast works so well together !! Please renew please!!
Definitely needs a season 2, 3, 4 and 5.
I love doesn’t pure genius.
The actors and the concept of the series was great.
I hope that’s CBS reconsiders.
I really enjoy pure genius comma it’s so full of new ideas and has a very fast-moving storyline.
We so loved Pure Genesis it gave hope for future medical breakthroughs
I loved this show. Couldn’t wait for my weekly fix of it. CBS is making a big mistake by not renewing.
Your genius should be renewed for a second season .
Takes me a long time to catch a show , not watching much TV and usually seeing reruns. This one grew on me – accidentally saw one, liked it, saw another a month later, started watching on DVR. If they don’t bother to give something a real chance they will never find the gems.
Really loved this show. Please bring it back!!!
One of the BEST new shows on TV today! Please don’t cancel it!! I’m so tired of all the blood and guts on other shows. This show offers HOPE!! I absolutely love it. Please, please don’t cancel Pure Genius.
This is one of the best future medical shows that has come on TV. Please do not cancel it. Great concept. Great sets. The group is just getting started creating their tight rapport. My women’s business group of 253 members LOVE this show.
Why does a show have to have killing, blood & sex to be successful & be renewed?
Pure Genius is a breath of fresh air. I totally enjoyed every single episode. Please don’t cancel this show. I want to see many more seasons of it & find out what becomes of ALL the characters!
Please don’t cancel!! This is why I have stopped watching new network shows. I don’t want to get invested just to have it cancelled out from under me!!
And I’m SO invested in Pure Genius! Take off one of the many, many knockoff CSIs or Criminal drivel out there bc this is a keeper!
I really enjoy Pure Genius. It is a refreshing change from the mindless sitcoms, reality shows, endless talk shows and so many police dramas and suspense shows. It is thought provoking and intriguing and very well written. PLEASE DON’T CANCEL IT.
