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?
Love the show. Sorry to see it’s been cancelled. Hopes another network or cable picks it up.
This is one of the best shows on TV. My wife and I have serious health problems and this show gives us hope for the future. Somebody thinks up these illnesses and a way to cure them. There is a lot of that going on in the world with cures or a lot of updated means of taking care of our frail human body.
PLEASE DON’T CANCEL THIS SHOW!
just checked to see when season 2 was going to start very upset to see it was canceled CBS sure make some bad decisions
Such a great show and I never missed an episode. I am 60+ yrs old and there are very few shows that you can believe in anymore. Most are for the very young or the very weird as “The Walking Dead”. Get real people. This is why I quit watching CBS.
Don’t know how CBS keeps it’s ratings. They keep cancelling the good shows and keep adding more reality shows. I’m watching more and more of the other channels all the time!
This was a fantastic show. I cried just about every episode. I don’t think it was given a fair chance and it had a horrible time slot. Bring it back!
BRING IT BACK!!! A GOOD SHOW AND YOU CANCELL IT?? AND THEN THEY LEAVE DUMB SHOWS LIKE THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF Atlanta, New York, LA.
OMG – I COULDN’T AGREE MORE I WAS SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THE RETURN OF THIS CUTTING EDGE SHOW. WOW FINALLY SOMEHTING ON A MORE INTELLECTUAL LEVEL AND A VIEW OF WHAT OUR FUTURE HOLDS……..HOPE! VERY DISAPPOINTED IT WAS CANCELED!!!!
I loved this show. Sorry it has been cancelled.
Very upset that this show is being cancelled. Finally a good medical show.
Loved this show. Hope it will be picked up by a cable station.
Loved this show. Hope it gets picked up by a cable channel like Animal Kingdom did.
Please don’t cancel this show! I love it so much, I’ll be extremely disappointed if it doesn’t come back. The cast is superb and the stories are compelling and touching. I mean, following this summer-of-game-shows horror, you really owe us some decent programming. Keep Pure Genius!
I love this show. It is more than just a typical hospital show. It has new technology mixed in too. The hospital setting is unique. All great things. I DVR my shows because of work and can not always watch them right away. This show deserves a chance. Give it a second season or change the way the ratings are tallied with the DVR.
I think It’s a great show. It should not be cancelled.
Doctor’s with feeling. A most wanted change – Characters done very well -Can’t believe this show is being cancelled
I have to say CBS has the best TV and Pure Genius goes right along with all the other shows that I watch All NCIS, Elementary Hawaii 5 O Blue Bloods Code Black. You have the best shows. Don’t cancel this.
