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?
I really enjoyed the show. I was hoping it would be renewed
Need to keep the show going.
Medical dramas are always a hit and this one is new and refreshing. It brings all of the genius of Dr House together with modern and theoretical technology. Who knows something seen on here might eventually inspire real life medical marvels. It’s truly gripping drama. Please bring it back in a better time slot
Poor decision to cancel Pure Genius., I hope that CBS rectifies this mistake!
Excellent show! A REALLY stupid move if cancelled by the network.
Love the show! I am a cancer survivor and seeing the technology coming in the future is amazing and the characters are loveable:) Please keep it!
I enjoy this show! So much can happen to our unique physical bodies. I enjoy the characters and the research
Love “Pure Genius” it was based on things that could be in the future it was refreshing. CBS should rethink it should not be judged for 1 season may be other facts like wrong day, time etc. Please renewing it was not like any of the shows with the same medical shows now. It you don’t renew hope it will be picked by another channel. The actors are outstanding.
Love this show. Our teenage kids will put down phones and iPads to watch with my husband and I. Should not be cancelled.
Yes, Definitely renew this show. The high tech concept blended with a unique hospital environment makes this show riveting. Certainly not like other doctor/hospital shows on the air. The cast is fabulous. To cancel this show after only part of the first season is a crime. Bring it back, and you’ll be happy you did!
think it should be back for another season
I think you should bring back the show it was so cool to see stuff that might happen in the future by having a product or a place where they could do all kinds of stuff to create for medicine I think you guys are crazy to take off a show like that just because of the ratings because people aren’t really found it yet but it is one of the best shows that I have seen in a long time it as good as Criminal Minds Blacklist justice Chicago Justice and give it time I’ve heard a lot of… Read more »
If CBS pays any attention to the fans the will not cancel this show. I tell all my friends to watch if they have not seen it because it truly is unique and heart warming.
I ABSOLUTELY love this show!!!! Please don’t cancel! Its captivating and it definitely holds your interest.
I believe this show should be renewed, it is/was one of the most interesting and riveting shows that was on CBS. It would make you cry, laugh, and keep you in suspense all in one hour. It needs to be renewed.
This show is pure genius!! No pun intended. Charismatic, sit on the edge of your seat type of tv show.
Brilliant story lines and cast performances are delivered spot on. In today’s state of US healthcare, legislators should all watch with open dialog and expression.
