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?
Was really looking fwd to seeing more.
Should have had at least another season, was enjoyable to watch with good story lines, unlike much of the trash that keeps cropping up season after season, like Big Brother and other shows that have truly out played their time by many seasons.
I loved the show and will really miss it. What a mistake to cancel it. 🙁
I’m extremely sorry this show was cancelled. Why do we cancel the ones that offer positive influence for all of us? We need to show love & joy & peace for our world to grow!
Loved the show, had great possibilities for on going episodes. Agree that the good shows get cancelled while some others, in my opinion, should be long gone!
Enjoyed but Augustus Prew, although a very nice actor, Maybe wasn’t the right pick for his part.
Im disdisted that 2/3 of my favorite shows are gone! They have their counts wrong!! Stupid! Always cancelling the good ones and putting on reality junk!
I am going thru the tv schedule looking for my shows and 2/3 have been cancelled!!! I loved this show! I think they aren’t getting their viewer counts right.
I love this show. Why do you always take off the good shows and leave the ones that are stupid and makes no sense.
I agree 100%
This was a great show! So sad to see such an intelligent show leave us! I watched this with my family and everyone, of every age loved it…very very sad. Who ever decided to cancel it should be fired!
Can’t believe it was cancelled! Why is it that they are cancelling all the best shows and leaving the ones with murder, incest, rape, and all other despicable violence? At the end of a hard day, people want to come home and sit down to watch a show that shows compassion, love, and laughter. Bring it back I agree with this comment!!! DO they ever look at how many people record a show every week & devoted to some of their topics
I believe this show had a lot of potential, it could have been the next ER or Greys Anatomy. This was a bad mistake if it was cancelled
We loved watching Pure Genius. It was refreshing and inspiring. We looked forward to it every week. Please bring Season 2 back!!
One of the most innovative shows on TV!!! Bring it back!!!
