TV show description:
This medical drama follows what happens when top medical professionals team up with cutting-edge tech experts as they try to push the boundaries of modern medicine and find revolutionary ways 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). Bell builds the ultimate cutting-edge hospital, Bunker Hill, that treats only the most rare and insurmountable medical mysteries — at no cost to the patient.
Wallace soon learns that Bell is harboring a secret, and the good doctor begins to question just what the young founder is really trying to achieve.
Also on the team are Doctor Zoe Brockett (Odette Annable), Doctor Talaikha Channarayapatra (Reshma Shetty), Doctor Malik Verlaine (Aaron Jennings), Doctor Scott Strauss (Ward Horton), and Angie Cheng (Brenda Song).
Episode #13 — Lift Me Up
Angie tries to target her mother’s illness using radical nanobot technology, but she looks to Scott for help when her mother prefers using traditional methods. Also, when a graffiti artist with a clotting disorder falls from a bridge, Walter, Malik and Zoe attempt to use suspended animation to stop his internal bleeding. And Walter is put in an awkward position when Julianna discovers James used the unapproved GSS drug on Louis Keating.
First aired: January 26, 2017.
What do you think? Do you like the Pure Genius TV show on CBS? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Please renew. I can’t wait for next episode guaranteed to make me cry, think, and want more
Never miss this show. I find it thought provoking and uplifting.
Please renew. This is a quality show with excellent writing and acting. There are very few shows that offer their viewers such hope and compassion as Pure Genius. I have never written before to have a show renewed but my affection for Pure Genius compels me to speak out asking for a renewal.
Please renew! One of the best show on TV..bit gives hope. Where there is so much sadness in the world today.
Please PLEASE PLEASE!!!! keep this show! It’s not like any other medical drama. It’s futuristic but plausible…so the human element is authentic and compelling, deeply touching …superlative acting and scripts. Don’t let this gem get buried.
Please renew Pure Genius. I love this show. It makes me laugh, it makes me cry.
I love show and hope it is continued for at least another season…terrific acting, story lines and futuristic possibilities for medicine
Please please renew pure genius it so real medical show that show that it can be a place like that we can go to
I think the initial marketing stunk. Made it look weird. Watched it once and was hooked. It’s a unique and uplifting, hopeful show. So many things are hard in the world right now that it’s awesome to see possibilities for improving and saving lives that might actually be possible in the future. We all need hope and this provides it. Please don’t cancel! Try a new day or time slot but don’t cancel it
LOVE Pure Genius!!!
Best new show on TV
Please renew this series.
I love pure genius. It has great stories and it is something I hope will be the future of medicine. It is to me like Star Trek. We all thought would this be US in the future. I like this is what medicine could be.
I have been watching this show since the beginning and I thought it was a winner. I think CBS would be foolish not to have, at least, a season 2 for thjis show.
Please reconsider cancelling this show. I have enjoyed the superb acting and the unique story line. It is rare that actors and storyline capture the audience so quickly as this program has done. Plus some of the episodes have really pulled at your heartstrings.
Thsnk you.
