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?
I really hope this show continues One of my favorite new shows!
Love this show! Please do NOT cancel.
Please do not cancel this show. It is the best medical drama in a long time. It’s real!
I really hope that Code Black is renewed. It is so different from everything else on tv. The acting is exceptional.
I like this show, it should not be cancelled. It is a good drama I look forward to watching every week
I love the show, but it has changed for the worse, with everyone jumping in bed with someone else . A very good show, that does not need sex scenes to survive. That is why NCIS is doing so well. It is a very good clean show.. Keep Code Black that way too. A Word to the wise.
Please don’t cancel Code Black. It is the best and most realistic medical show on the air. I watch it and tape it so I can watch it again.
Both my husband and I really like Code Black. He went so far as to say it was one of his favorite shows now. We really hope it gets renewed!!
Great show, fast paced, awesome actors. Please continue.
Please keep the show going.
The actors are an extremely talented team.
The drama is as real as it gets.
Better than any other hospital drama I have watched.
Please do not cancel….one of my favorite shows…
Please keep the show. As a nurse, I find it to be the most realistic medical drama on TV. Also love the characters..and the storyline are also realistic.
Please do not cancel this show it is one of two shows that show the true picture of a working large ER – the good, the bad and the bloody – Please Renew!!!
Don’t cancel the show!! Unless Dr rourish leaves than I won’t care.
Best cast of actors and excellent script.I hope it does not get cancelled.
