'''''Pure Genius''''' (
==Premise==
James Bell is a [[Silicon Valley]] billionaire who dreams of building a hospital with ultimate cutting-edge technology to treat rare and incurable diseases.

* [[Dermot Mulroney]] as Dr. Walter Wallace, a triple board-certified and renowned surgeon.
** He also serves as the Bunker Hill's Chief of Staff.

|ShortSummary = Dr. Wallace gets fired for performing a non-FDA-approved procedure on an eight-year-old patient who did not survive. He is invited to join Bunker Hill and has his body 3D scanned to be immortalized as an action figure. James gives him the quick tour. Margo comes in for help with her unborn child, as her cancer is growing too rapidly. They need to keep her alive until her fetus becomes viable at 20 weeks so they can remove the tumor and save the mother without forfeiting the child's life. Wallace practices the delicate surgery on 3D models of the tumor. The baby and mother both survive, with the child one of the youngest on record at 146 days old. A 15-year-old girl, Krissy Ramirez, is in a coma; Dr. Channarayapatra gets her transferred to Bunker Hill and they use a cutting edge brain-to-brain mind reading system to communicate with her. Her father talks to her and she sends a message back through the helmet. James has tested positive for [[Gerstmann–Sträussler–Scheinker syndrome]] (GSS), which is why he built Bunker Hill and why he wants to study a GSS patient, Louis Keating.

|ShortSummary = A boy's legs get crushed under a car while he is playing in the street. The team needs to devise a way to repair them to avoid amputation. Since they would need over 100 screws to repair the legs, Malik wants to use spider silk screws and webbing to repair them, but Zoe feels the best option is to amputate. A woman with liver disease comes into Bunker Hill. The team works out a plan to find a donor: her dad. However, his liver is damaged from a history of alcohol abuse. James suggests the use of macrophages to repair the liver so that it can be used. Zoe wants to get a park for the neighborhood where the boy got hurt and asks James for help. During the park set-up, James tells Zoe he actually bought six lots, not just one.

|ShortSummary = A police officer who was the victim of a car accident is admitted with memory regression—he now thinks he is a kid. They do a brain scan to try and find his adult memories, including those of his wife. After James maps his memories, they manage to find most of them except those of the wife. Later, when they are sitting on a park bench, the memories of his wife start returning. An overweight patient is admitted; she needs an MRI, but the only one large enough is at the zoo. They find a tumor that causes her to want to eat. They need to operate, but she needs to lose 40–50 pounds before they can safely perform the surgery. The staff creates a custom diet plan connected to an app that counts calories and a neural inhibitor that will tell her when to feel full.

|ShortSummary = James brings his third grade teacher in for meniscus tear surgery and wants Wallace to use robotics. They find a cystic mass and the resulting biopsy shows stage 4 kidney cancer that has metastasized throughout her body. To fully remove the cancer, they would need to perform four operations, but her body wouldn't be able to handle the stress. The team creates a special computer-controlled robotic surgeon that will perform all four surgeries at once. A blind military veteran comes in who has constant pain, so Brockett and Channarayapatra implant a device to stop the pain. Once they turn it on, the patient sees a flash of light, which leads them to devise a way for him to see. He does not want the operation, so Brockett flies in his best friend who was injured in the same attack and he convinces him to go ahead.

==Reception==
===Critical reception===
''Pure Genius'' has received generally negative reviews from television critics. [[Review aggregator]] website [[Rotten Tomatoes]] reported a 26% rating based on reviews from 23 critics. The website's consensus reads, "''Pure Genius'' is weighed down by stereotypical doctor drama trappings, suffocating its chances of bringing anything compelling and entertaining to the genre."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/pure_genius/s01/ |title=Pure Genius: Season 1 (2016) |work=[[Rotten Tomatoes]] |access-date=April 1, 2022 }}</ref> [[Metacritic]] reported a score of 43 out of 100 based on 19 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.metacritic.com/tv/pure-genius/critic-reviews |title=Pure Genius : Season 1 |publisher=[[Metacritic]] |access-date=April 1, 2022 }}</ref>
Willa Paskin of ''[[Slate (magazine)|Slate]]'' described the show as "idiotic [[Technology company|tech]] propaganda that’s about one-tenth as curious about the issues it raises as it should be."
