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).

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 rethink cancelling Pure Genius. It’s a great program, entertaining, and not one that everyone is dying or being killed.
Please bring back, “Pure Genius”” My husband and I watched Every show aired. We hate all the junk,on just about every chanel and do not watch much tv anymore because of it. The cast was great, the story line super. It gave hope and love.
HOW ABOUT AIRING ” PURE GENIUS ” AS A DAYTIME SERIES ? IT WOULD RECEIVE A LARGER GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO WOULD APPRECIATE THE STORY LINE AND ACTORS. IT SEEMS THAT NIGHT TIME VIEWERS ARE INTO MORE ACTION DRAMAS.. I PERSONALLY PREFER SHOWS LIKE ” PURE GENIUS “, BUT I AM OLDER, AND DO NOT
LIKE THE VIOLENT SHOWS THAT ARE ON AT NIGHT.
Pure Genius is such a great show. I have written a couple of comment entries to get it renewed. My family and I are soooo disappointed. CBS change your mind !
I loved that show”Pure Genius”. That is one show I could watch over and over. It was so uplifting . Please reinstate it. It was a very feel good show.
I wish this show would continue. It was the best, most upbeat and compassionate show. I miss it.
I enjoyed watching Pure Genius it was a interesting show please bring this show back so we all can enjoy the show once again
What a poor decision this was! Hopefully some other network can pick it up because it has what so many of the brainless reality shows lack.
I’m heartbroken to find out that the show was cancelled. I loved it. They should bring it back and take off some of the dumb reality shows that are out there.
I really enjoyed Pure Genius and am disappointed that it has been cancelled. I wish the powers that be would reconsider. It was very innovative and the acting was superb!!!!!!!
I think it was a very bad decisions to cancel this show!!! I love the show, I don’t think it was given a real chance to catch on. There are Soooooo many really stupid shows on right now. Why you cancel one of the good ones I will never understand! !!!!
Great show, I’m sure it was cancelled because it was too intelligent, for the masses, you can’t continue to dumb down America with shows like this
Great show… I loved it but I guess it wasn’t liberal enough for CBS.. bad move to cancel..
I loved the show but I guess it wasn’t liberal enough for CBS!! Bad move to cancel…
Frustrating, CBS! Why do you cancel a deep heartfelt feel good series without giving it a chance within the first season BUT you keep those stupid meaningless shows on and bring new shows that are seemingly the same stupidity? There are thousands of us that really wish to watch shows with meaning and integrity.
