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.

Please nenew. It’s one of my favorite shows. Wonderful cast.
Please renew, as a retired ER and Trauma RN and Manager. The show shows what a busy ER is like. Your show is very true to life. It is important that the public sees this and perhaps they will start to understand the wait times, triage and how the ER works.
We think this is an amazing show. It tackles relevant issues and keeps us emotionally connected. We think the acting, the characters and the subject matter is wonderful and are shocked it does not attract more viewers.
We Love this show and have it easily in our top 5, but I wonder how they count the many people that do what we do and that is DVR the shows that are on the same time that we cannot watch both. We do this all the time….if we go out or need to do something in the house and I am sure so many others do. That’s why the big Cable shows don’t worry about Homeland or Game of Thrones etc. because they show them at all different times knowing everybody can’t be there every week at the… Read more »
