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?
Please do not cancel Pure Genius!! I love it, my 18 yr old daughter loves it and so do my parents. That is 3 generations-so it appears to appeal to all age groups. I know others who love it as well. Thank you CBS!
Love the show! One of the best new dramas in a long time! Thanks you, CBS!
I hope they keep the show. It seems like the stations keep a lot bad shows and the shows that have family values like Pure Genius are cancelled. It would be a shame to see this show not renewed.
Don’t cancel Pure Genius. I like the hopefulness, technology and characters interplay. Must find out resolution of ‘W’s’ marriage, daughter’s lesbianism, Angie-Song relations, etc. Also, about James’ medical denouement/cure.
Please don’t cancel this show. The message is so good and the characters are brilliant. I think it has not been given a real shot with time slots. Hard to go up against Thursday night football. Then it goes on Sunday night? Against football again? Maybe another network can pick it up that doesn’t require the big time ratings. Please don’t cancel. Give it a chance. Augustus is incredible.
keep this great show, took a few episodes to catch on but good chemistry- coupled with interesting story lines…. KEEP THIS SHOW.
My favorite show on TV. I have never left a review, but chose to do so here to help keep this show on the air.
The show is uplifting and non violent. It portrays the miracle of brilliant teamwork for the good of mankind..not the bottom line. I shed tears with every episode. Hopefully it will be renewed and a bit more character development included.
Please pick up this series. It’s great!!!!sandy
please please do not cancel this show! it is the future of medicine I hope….where there is hope!…and it should stay on the air!!
Only show that I was upset to learn it would be cancelled. Love the cast but love the storyline more. It is a feel good show that give us hope for your everyday miracle. We all could use such a positive storyline.
Please renew. Great cast, very thought provoking with hope for medicine in the future. Really have gotten attached.
Can you please not cancelled this show. It’s my favorite show and I would like to be able to continue watching this show. Plzz
My favorite show! Could take a lot of other junk off the air.
I have never commented on a tv show until now, but Pure Genius is indeed Pure Genius! Kudos! I am absolutely thrilled wilth this show. I love it. I’ve cried during many episodes because it really grabs my heart. Outstanding cast, acting, storyline, and so much energy and passion. This is not just another medical show. Can you imagine what our world could be like, if someone actually did this? The medical field meets the techies! Cool concept! Add to that a hospital that doesn’t make you pay! I will continue to faithfully watch Pure Genius because I think it’s… Read more »
