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.

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.

I loved pure genius. I need more. If nothing else move it to Netflix. I’m very disappointed.
Please renew this show. We really enjoy this show at our housen
Please don’t cancel this show. It is so interesting. It doesn’t matter if it is not totally correct but just the idea of this concept is fascinating and I know there are many people would like to keep this show alive. It beats the garbage on ABC or NBC. PLEASE BRING THIS SHOW BACK!!!!!!
This TV show combines creative medical procedures with personal situations that have often left me in tears. The Christmas show where they all sat together watching TV was uniquely genuine and not typical for the ego-centric personalities of most doctors. This show and Code Black are just too good foe commercial TV. It is like Longmire in its first year.
Please renew this series! I loved this show! I was always intrigued by the new procedures they came with to save a persons life! Please please bring this show back!
Very good show. Needs to be renewed.
Love PureGenius! Please renew and give it another chance. It’s new and fresh and exciting.
We LOVE it!’ We are spreading the word and our friends love it too. We need some good TV. Give it a chance.
I love this program, it is a sci fi that actually could someday be available, its brilliant, sensitive, some fun when needed, all the actors are awesome. please renew it.
