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.

I love this show. No violence, no guns, just helping people and that what we need more of. Please renew this show.
Pleaase make season 2! my husband & I love this show!. Its a great drama of real life and possible new treatments and cures for diseases. Love all of the actors.
Can’t wait for season 2, should be 22 or 24 episodes per season like ncis. Great show in a tv world of reality crap. It nice to escape from the daily drama of real life and look at what could become if the world wasn’t so greedy. Forward thinking writers. Renew renew renew
