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).

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?
Really sad that this show was cancelled. My wife and I really enjoyed watching it. It was a very welcome break from all the old tired reality shows that leave much to be desired. It seems that all the originality is gone from television.
It was one of the few upbeat dramas on network TV that I can watch with my young daughter, optimistic and nonviolent, Philanthropist tech genius with a heart runs up against nanny government red tape in a near future sci-fi medical drama.

There is better fake science here than in the trash on BBT so as a dad who wishes to inspire the mind… Read more »
Loved the show and am sorry it wasn’t renewed.
Would love to see this show renewed. It’s a great show.
Please do not cancel!!!!! Love this show!!
My husband and I loved this show! Please give it another chance! Actors were inspiring and caring….Thats what we need today! A new hope for the future!
Give this show a second season! This is a good, clean, inspiring, feel good show! Good actors too!!
You really should give this show another chance. It was awe-inspiring. It showed genuine concern for their patients instead of money. It gave people hope of what Doctors could really do to save lives and help people given the right situations.
Never gave it a chance. I really enjoyed that type of show. Reality TV maybe cheap to run but this series gave hope and a journey into the future. To bad it did it make the cut. A great cast of actors and applaud them to take a chance on this type of medical series.
Loved this show. Gave people hope. So sad it is cancelled.
Loved this show, the characters, actors, the suspense of the rare cases presented. Very enjoyable, I never wanted to miss an episode. Wish it was still on.
I absolutely loved this show. The cases and all the actors blended so well together. I cant believe it was cancelled. But lets bring on another season of big brother, survivor and other reality shows. Thanks cbs
I think it is sad that they get a good story going and then cancel before it get better. All these stupid big bothers shows and dumb races keep coming back year after year. I turn them off or change channel on all. I think people that make the are retarded.
Love the show. Was always busy with kids so i had to Pvr the show so I won’t miss any episodes. Shouldn’t have been cancelled.
