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?
NO! NO! NO! you can’t cancel this show
Pure Genius is exactly that. The writing and the actors keep me coming back every week. And hating to see the programs hour end. Augustus makes me think his character is real every week. All the acting is wonderful. I would be so disappointed to see this show get cancelled. I don’t watch the reality shows. Pure Genius is spectacular. Please keep it running.
This is the best new show on TV. Why would this be cancelled and so many reality TV nonsense shows be kept? Makes no sense.
Why would the “powers that be” even consider cancelling this show? ‘Pure Genius’ has everything we like to watch… passion, hope, tenseness, amazing technology, great leading characters and quality supporting roles. It has the opportunity to show all of us what is possible in today’s world; in both medicine and technology. It will inspire young people to work in many areas of the medical field, the same way that CSI opened a whole new world of forensic science. Why cancel something so inspirational to the next generation?? Give this show a chance to succeed. PLEASE!!
This is a show that could do for medicine, what Star Trek did for technology. It is a very innovative and forward thinking show that is very much needed in our society. It’s refreshing to see the positive energy flowing through Bunker Hill. We need a show like this, especially during this time of uncertainty. I love this show and hope it airs for many seasons to come!
This unique medical drama is intelligent and shows compassion and old fashion values of humans actually caring for one another. It would be a great loss to lose this show and have some other blood and guts or raunchy show networks seem to prefer.
We are in our seventies and just love “Pure Genius” Love, watching the way modern medicine could be heading. The staff are so wonderful with awesome bedside manners. Is there a hospital ever like Bunker Hill? The story line is just fantastic. Been, recommending this “Pure Genius” to everyone. People need to focus on the future, and be a little more compassionate. Thank-you for offering this to us. You have got a hidden gem in this show.
Love the Show!!! Please don’t cancel. Best new show on TV!!!!
Love the show!!! Please continue to air the show!!!
Awesome show! Totally love it! We hope it gets renewed. Who do we have to convince to get it renewed?? The people love it…the cast is awesome…what could CBS be thinking by canceling it?! Always the best shows….doesn’t anybody there have any common sense? Praying for a miracle
One of the best shows on tv!!Augustus and Dermot are awesome together. Entire cast is great! Keep it running.
Please don’t cancel Pure Genius. It’s such a great heartwarming and intelligent show. Come on CBS listen to the fans of the show!
This is a smart, refreshing new show and brilliantly cast, particularly Augustus Prew as James Bell. It’s wonderful to have an intelligent drama to watch versus another lame comedy or ridiculous reality show. I hope CBS realizes what it has here and gives it a decent shot at success.
I simply love this show. I sure hope it gets renewed.
This a great show. Love the characters. So many of my friends watch as well. Refreshing approach to tired hospital/Doctor dramas. I look forward to seeing more episodes and seasons! Keep this show!!!
Love Pure Genius please give it another shot with so much crap on tv it is nice to have a show that actually makes you think and has substance
