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 absolutely loved the show! It was one of those shows that left me feeling really good! It was a show for everyone, which means they’ll probably cancel it because it was a good show. I think sometimes we don’t give it enough time to catch on.
I am to totally in awe,, the best show to hit tv in a very long time. It gives hope that the procedures could be a future treatment. Some seem far fetched but so did flying. Bring it back!!!!!
Please bring back Pure Genius! I love the characters, and I know that the show is based on advances and breakthroughs that are happening as we speak or about to happen. There is so much trash on tv; I would love to see something with value kept!
I really enjoyed the show and would like to see it back. The characters were interesting, and their medical fixes were very creative. I always wondered if they were based on real life cutting edge technology or not.
please bring back Pure Genius. One of the most enjoyable series in a long time.
Please renew Pure Genius. I think the characters and the plots were really great.
