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 also loved this show it should not have been cancelled
LOVED this show! Combined technology with medicine in a fascinating way. Characters were developed well. Sad to see it go.
I loved this show and looked forward to watching it every week. Sorry to see another good show cancelled..
I really enjoyed the show. I am going to miss some good drama on tv this coming season. Too many of those mind numbing shows. Wow, I guess networks are going broke!!
I was hoping to see season 2, just found out its been canceled, I really enjoyed watching this show,
Would really, really, really like to see this one back! Quite sick of all the reality tv shows. Something worth watching.
Finally a show worth watching and enjoying and you cancel it! Shame on you!!!!!
Of course it should have been renewed. whats wrong with you
I loved this show. I am sorry to hear that they cancelled this show. I thought that it was great.
So sorry to hear Pure Genius is cancelled. I LOVED this show …and especially the cast. They were perfectly suited for their roles … and each other. I’m so disappointed so many awful reality shows that basically are nothing but bullying on different levels …continue to be popular .,, and wonderful, well written, wonderfully acted shows like this are dismissed. So much for making America great again. Of course Twitter obviously shows … on some level … why bullying is so popular. I digress … sorry to see Pure Genius go. Thank you to whomever brought it to us in… Read more »
Man! What an amazing cast, brilliant script and a feel good series. Hate it was cancelled!!
We really liked Pure Genius. Sorry it wasn’t renewed. Maybe some other network can pick it up.
This series was much too good to be cancelled. If CBS doesn’t want it, I hope another major network will pick it up. I am disappointed in the lack of CBS’ wisdom in cancelling this rare intellectual drama with a brilliant, compelling cast.
liked this show; sad it was cancelled.
I just found out pure genius was cancelled very disappointed A wonderful show great cast , I had my DVR set to record for the second season, again a show waiting for it to come back and it has been cancelled. I found it interesting and waited each week something refreshing to watch instead of these stupid sit coms and variety shows why do all the good shows get cancelled very disappointed in CBS
