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.

What do you think? Do you like the Pure Genius TV show on CBS? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for season two?
5/15/17 update: CBS has cancelled Pure Genius after one season. Details here.
Love the program. Good writing , good acting, and story not finished.
Renew! Awesome show!
It is very upsetting that every time I find a show that I love and auctally intices you to use your brain it gets canceled. Pure Genius was one of those shows.
My wife and I love this series and would be devastated if it were to be cancelled. We don’t watch a lot of shows on CBS, NBC OR NETWORK channels and usually stick to cable offered networks. But this show sucked us in.
The show is introducing the newest concepts in what medicine can be. It may be the Star Trek of medical inventions for tomorrow. Of course it should be cancelled. We need more pointless mindless ‘Housewives of…” shows and more creative ways to torture and murder others. It keeps the masses sedated.
Love this show, keep it going
Best show I have seen in years. Needs to be continued.
Please keep. Love Pure Genius
