Critics' reviews

"I have no idea what Katims is doing here (...) [There is] so much emphasis on the technology that you'll never care about the patients."

Tim Goodman: The Hollywood Reporter
"It’s a lovely idea, to solve thorny political issues with technological advances. But it underscores how simplistic the series feels"

Sonia Saraiya: Variety
"[It] is pure formulaic drivel (...) 'Pure Genius' takes the human heart of Katims’ storytelling and replaces it with the CBS procedural’s coldly pristine machinery."

Sean O'Neal: AV Club
"This is just a doctor drama with C.G.I. and without interesting character dynamics"

James Poniewozik: The New York Times
