Marred by the usual hospital prime-time melodramatics, Pure Genius is still a compelling idea matched to a superior cast.
The medical deduction stuff is entertaining, just as it was on “House,” and here it’s done with more high-tech gadgetry in the room. But the regular characters aren’t particularly interesting.
The show has potential, if only because with so many ideas floating around, something is bound to stick.
This is just a doctor drama with C.G.I. and without interesting character dynamics. Bell, at least, is a distinctive lead personality--he’s not at all likable, but that could be by design, and Mr. Prew commits to his precious smarminess.
A rare and probably untreatable case of a premise that comes off far more creepy than it intends.
A show so ludicrously risible, it could be mistaken for an extended Saturday Night Live sketch.
I have no idea what happened in the making of Pure Genius, but it is impossible to tell that Katims was involved, on the level of performance or intelligence.
