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?
Should have been renewed as it was interesting and gave a glimpse of perhaps where Medical innovation is heading with some drama.
It’s strange that the shows that are cancelled are the ones people love and the ones that they keep continue on. This is a show that needs to continue not something like The Bachelor. How long is something stupid like that going to continue? Get rid of some of the reality shows. They are ridiculous. Survior has been around long enough. How many places can you send them to? Keep Pure Genious on the air.
One of best shows on tv, how could it be can be canceled????? Idiots that’s why!!!!
This show had innovative ideas. I am sad you only look at one age demographic for ratings. Thanks, you don’t think I matter! Other ages do have money to support your sponsors. Star Trek had the same start. Too bad you don’t take chances.
Best show that CBS had on air, and should be continued, not canceled!
I really enjoyed this show, better than some of the dumb comedies. Please bring it back.
I loved this show and am very sad that it has been cancelled.
Please bring back Pure genius. Every time there’s an inspiration show that whole family can watch you’ll deleted the show.
It is unfortunate that shows like this that actually make you think are sidestepped for ridiculous mindless canned comedies and reality shows. I agree that the networks need to rethink their option. Perhaps a different time slot would get better viewing
Best sow on Tv, If it was aired on earlier time, It would get a larger audiance. please bring it back, it is too good to be cancelled.
Loved this show! Sad it was cancelled
Pure Genius was fresh and new and one of a kind; always entertaining. The characters were just developing. A great show should not be dropped but moved to a time where it has a chance to grow and flourish. What a terrible mistake. Shame on CBS.
SHOULD BE renewed It is was a great show
I don’t have a clue as to why CBS would cancel this show. I loved it! It is on the cutting edge of medicine and a very realistic view into the near future.
It was a great show, and I was so disappointed it was cancelled. Why I do not know….
