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.

Please, Please bring it back it was great seeing a good storyline and cast it was so different than anything on T.V.
It shows people that can actually think! Please bring it back.
Loved this show! Please bring it back.!
Please renew
Absolutely love the show. There aren’t many shows I stay awake for but Pure Genius kept me awake. Please give it a chance.
Loved the show, please bring it back. It made you think about things and how medical issues can be tied in with technology.
I felt this was a show that was cutting edge. I truly enjoyed how the out of the box thinking made it interesting. Great writing and casting.
Very good show
PLEASE renew Pure Genius. The acting is fabulous and the story line is so uplifting. I hope to see it renewed. We all love this show.
Really enjoy this show and hope to see it given a chance to grow its audience. It’s the only exposure many people might get to the stunning advances in medical science.
Loved this show! Know it will be cancelled due to lack of violence, sex, and mayhem. Intelligent programs don’t make it today – sad commentary on our lack of taste in programming. Hope I am wrong and this one comes back!!
Loved the show. Couldn’t always watch when aired, but sad haven’t seen it in several months.
I love PURE GENIUS . I would not be able to watch it that night but i would go back and watch it on Demand. You should bring it back..
I LOVE Pure Genius!!!!
Please bring the show back! Pure Genius is one of the few decent shows left to watch! Great show. Great actors/actresses
