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.

Renew! Love this show! It’s very interesting and keeps my interest. Renew!!!!!
Yes Please renew!!! Innovative and fresh! Love the crew and their family like relationships. Nice to have a series with “gadgets”. RENEW!
I read the first page of comments and every person had a positive opinion, bordering on begging for this quality series to be renewed….I agree, wholeheartedly!
I love this show! The idea that there are people who may be out there helping other people regardless of income, is heartwarming. The characters were believable and story line realistic. Please don’t cancel!!!!
Wonderful show..Hope its not cancelled. So tired of the brain dead comedy shows TV is pushing on us. Maybe we should all quit watching TV. Or maybe switch to PBS for sensible shows.
I think the show is great. Please renew

Great show. It needs to be given a chance.
Such a good series. I really enjoyed each wrrk. Such a shame it has been cancelled.
I love this show. It is encouraging yet very poignantly deals with realistic life & death issues and decisions. I stayed recording this for myself, but my children (24, 22, and 16) will often sit down to talk to me and end up watching it with me. I didn’t know that networks only get credited if you watch the recording within 3 days (and you have to watch the commercials too)? Unfortunately, I only have 2-3 nights a week to watch tv. So I don’t know if they get the credit they deserve. Please renew this show. It’s a breath… Read more »
