TV show description:
This gritty medical drama revolves around an Emergency Room in Los Angeles where underfunding and understaffing pile huge pressure on its staff. A “code black” is issued when the ER no longer has the manpower, capacity or equipment to operate effectively.
Doctor Leanne Rorish (Marcia Gay Harden) is the ER Residency Director. She’s a brilliant doctor and an experienced professional who often has to resort to her intuition as opposed to standard medical procedures in order to save lives. She reminds her staff that life is measured in split seconds and a moment of hesitation can be the difference between life and death.
On the flip side to Leanne’s risk-taking is Doctor Neal Hudson (Raza Jaffrey) who is constantly at odds with her cavalier attitude.
Leanne’s confidante is Senior Nurse Jesse Salander (Luis Guzman) who’s seen it all at the country’s most notorious ER. His job is to manage the residents. Like the other technicians, doctors and nurses, he is facing a daily battle to save lives under immense pressure.
Mario Savetti (Benjamin Hollingsworth), Christa Lorenson (Bonnie Somerville), Angus Leighton (Harry Ford) and Malaya Pineda (Melanie Chandra) are all first-year residents coming to terms with the harsh realities of their chosen profession.
Episode #47 — Business of Saving Lives
Angels Memorial descends into chaos when a plane crashes into the eighth floor. Also, it is up to Mario to save Noa’s life when she has a car accident. In addition, Willis admits to Rox that he needs her in his life, and the doctors gather in court to support Leanne for her custody hearing.
First aired: July 18. 2018.
What do you think? Do you like the Code Black TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for season four on CBS?
Please do not cancel this awesome show. AND make sure Mama comes back.
I have enjoy this show very much but I agree that shows get cancel too quickly. It seem to me after watching last night program that the powers that be are planing to cancel this show. Getting rid of characters in the story line is to be expected but some many so soon is too much and you lost the style of the program. I will miss the Mama character the most.
This show NEEDS Jessie aka Mamma. I think HE is the one that pulls everything together…
Code Black is one of my favorite shows. It’s intense but also shows the human side of the medical professionals – flaws and all. My preference is to RENEW please CBS!!!
I love code black. It is fast paced and seems fairly true to life. The emotions are so real. Please, please renew it!
renewed please
I love code black PLEASE don’t cancel.
Love the energy of this show and the cast of characters are so real. Keeps me enthralled every time. Shame I can’t get one that I missed On Demand. Only in HD!
best show ever until you eliminated Indian Dr. and older woman intern! Rob Lowe is not the answer as now watching Designated Survivor.
i reall enjoy code black. it lets you know what really goes on in alot of the e r and how amazing alot of the nurses are and dr.
I think this is the most amazing hospital-based emeregency show I haver ever watched! I can’t wait for the episodes! Please Do Not take this show off air! This show is the Best yet!
I think this is one of the best shows on television… its right up there with greys anatomy in my books. please do not take off the air!
This is the best hospital show I have ever seen and I can tell you I have seen a lot of them. This show is excellent. Not quite as good as Grimm though. LOL
Do not cancel code black. Too many shows get cancelled. You start to enjoy a show and bam its not on air anymore. It’s not fair.
Looking forward to the coming new fall shows this fall
Best show on tv!
