Pure Genius

Is it a perfect show? No! It has certainly got a few areas that need tweaking, but it has charm even so!!! Is the acting sketchy at times? Yes! In particular the actor playing the character of James can be incredibly annoying. He needs to work on nuances in his facial expressions instead of always relying on the pursed lips and furrowed brow approach. Are the story lines a bit one dimensional? Oh yeah!!! Whoever is writing this does need to get out into the real world for a bit as many of the character archetypes or story plots are limited in the extreme. Is much of the science possible as yet? Probably not!!!! But that's okay because most of us would like to think this will all be possible one day. This show has its flaws and yet I really really like it? Yep! Really!! It has huge potential and it is so nice to see hope, kindness and compassion as a theme instead of brutality, cruelty, bad behavior or hopelessness. In spite of its flaws, I find myself smiling and feeling happy while watching this show and I believe it should be given a chance to find it niche. I for one want Pure Genius to succeed and believe there is a place for shows with hope and heart.

I do wish they'd reshuffle the reviews occasionally, as that first one is really a downer! I don't really care abut a review from a "professional" medical point of view, because this is pretty far into fantasy land and everyone would know that. So yes, maybe it's far "out there" with pure science, but no more than lots of very successful shows and movies. I absolutely love it and I always feel good watching it. It's about hope. It's about believing beyond what ever seems possible. If that's just corny .. I'm corny and I am happy to find somebody feeding us corny ones.

Yes, Mr. Silicon Valley Billionaire can be obnoxious, but he seems very real to me (I'm quite familiar with the breed). He's ridiculously hopeful and forward thinking and that's where science needs to go. I am delighted with his little boy genius character and hope they never change it. People in life are often annoying and wonderful at the same time.

I hope it goes on and on. We need to give shows a chance to gel and the personalities to become meaningful and interconnected. Very few are AMAZING from start to finish. And I promise I won't watch it for medical diagnosis on myself. It just makes me feel good.

Best new show of all. Loved every episode and always looked forward to the next. Entire family watched this season and it only proceeded to get better with each and every new week. The characters performed in a way leaving you feeling the connections they have with each other as a medical family as well as their own personal life issues each and every one of them attempt to deal with along the way. The storyline and believable solutions as medical technologies progress in real life were very relatable to human medical issues we all face in the real world. Sad to see it come to a finale. So hoping it will renew again for many more upcoming seasons.

I love this show. Especially the longer I watch it. The first few shows were slow but it is gaining in momentum. The character of James Bell shows more interest and depth than Steve Jobs who was essentially an ass while being brilliant; but we can't say that now because he's dead. Some shows need time. I love the Big Bang Theory and all the characters but it's predictable and has no where else to go. If you suffer (and yes I mean suffer) from being a genius, it isn't always interesting but the story telling can be! Not everyone can live, but what we learn along the way becomes an important part of the process...give that subject matter more writing. I hope you're listening! This show and these characters need a shot.

This is my first review ever and I've seen a lot of movies and TV series. I just think this one is so under-appreciated that I just had to say how it makes me feel. I love watching it. I'm not a fan of medical TV shows, but I really looking forward each week to see a new episode. All the main characters are such good people and it's so nice to see such people on TV.It's like they have no ego. After watching an episode I feel uplifted and inspired and hopeful about the future. I don't know any other TV show that could do the same. This is the first TV show that I actually watched over again. I'm deeply saddened that CBS has opted not to order additional episodes.
