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?
WAS A DAMN GOOD SHOW.
Guess there was not enough guns and violence in this wonderful program to keep this show on tv. So sad that this program was cancelled. Taped every week. That it was cancelled is a sad indication on the low level of programs currently on tv.
Definitely renewed, loved that show. It was pure genius to have a billionaire start his on hospital for under class people…Please bring it back..
Please Bring Back!!!!!!! Great Show. Something anyone can watch and you want to cancel?? Please DON’T
Renewed! One of my favorite shows. GREAT show! Always entertaining and comes up with innovating story lines! What are good shows cancelled?!
This was a GREAT show and SO sad to see it not be renewed!
What the heck, why do they take the good shows off??? Loved this show, it was different from other shows on TV. They should bring it back.
This was one of the best TV series I have EVER watched! Truly enjoyed every actor. An educational, decent, state of the art and very touching series that should have NEVER been cancelled.
I recorded five episodes and have shown several people the recordings. They had never heard of Pure Genius and would be watching it now if it had not been cancelled.
I don’t think it was promoted well enough.
Will it ever be brought back?
I only have 5 episodes to re-watch. Bummer – what a great show!
I hoped it would have been renewed for several additional seasons. I thought it was a great combination of compassion, intelligence and humor.
Brilliant … cutting edge, understandable and hopeful!
Pure Genius was one of my most favorite shows and was really looking forward to Season 2. It seems the shows I really enjoy don’t make it. I’m sorry to see Pure Genius go.
Loved the show, Different! Most shows seem to be if this works, lets make 10 more series like it. Maybe Stars, Amazon or Netflix can pick it up and we can all be happy at night and not depressed with t Gives people the opportunity to see what creative thinking and dreaming can do for all of us.he “shoot “em ups and gratuitous violence!
