Lending credibility to this new venture is a maverick surgeon who’s the first to discover that his boss’s mission is to get bureaucracy out of medicine, use the most forward thinkers in technology, and just save lives—including his own. – CBS
Why We’re Watching: Judging from the series promo, Pure Genius, has a lot of potential to be an amazing series. It looks to be as heart-warming as it is thrilling; an emotional rollercoaster in the best way. It also looks like it could fall into the trap of being overly sentimental. Here’s to hoping it is the former and not the latter.
