Season 1 Review:
Said writers prove to be less than slouches in the pilot, pushing several medical subplots through a meaty hour that are different and interesting enough to keep viewers tuned in until the final moments. As far as new CBS dramas go, that’s a breath of fresh air worth celebrating.

Season 1 Review:
A formulaic medical drama. [21/28 Oct 2016, p.97]

Season 1 Review:
The science behind Bell's confidence isn't complete fantasy, according to Katims, although the producer acknowledged that it's not yet available. ... That's great--at least for those who aren't facing imminent death from causes that happen to interest the writers of Pure Genius--but that lack of immediacy also means the stakes aren't as high as they are for most medical dramas, even if the graphics are much, much better.

Season 1 Review:
The script is assembled from cliches, some so hokey the actors seem to have trouble keeping straight faces. The plot rarely holds together, and the technology is more new age (a real-life "Vulcan mind meld"?) than cutting age. Worst of all, both Prew and Mulroney are horribly miscast, and neither is a satisfactory entry point into the drama.

Season 1 Review:
I found Bell to be one of the least likable protagonists in a prime time series in a while, which is really saying something in a season that has given us Notorious and Bull. ... Mulroney, not one of the liveliest of TV leading men, doesn’t just bring gravity to his role, he weighs it down with cement blocks.
