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?
Great actors.actresses and storyline. Crushing to know it will be cancelled. When I finished watching an episode, I couldn’t hardly wait for next weeks shown. Very disappointed. Great show.
One of the best medical show since greys anatomy don’t cancel PLEASE
Very disturbing that good television gets cancelled. Great actors and story line.
I will cancel my streaming subscription
CBS what are you thinking? You are my favorite network and Code Black was my favorite show ! Bad judgement here. Please bring it back!
I Love Code Black, one of the best shows. I wish you would consider bring the show back. It’s touching, it’s heartfelt, it’s emotional, it’s real life – I can go on and on about this show. There are to many corny shows these days, it was nice to see a show like Code Black – It’s like a breathe of fresh air – Please, Please, Pretty Please BRING IT BACK
It was a clean show is that why you canceled it. Bring it back for a another season. what a huge mistake you made.
Absolutely great show. Great characters and story lines. Can’t believe it would be cancelled. What mistake.
I love Code Black! I wish it was a regular season show. The summer season is so short and the story lines were always great and had a great lesson . I pray someone will reconsider. Marcia and other actors made the show worth searching for every week. PLEASE reconsider keeping this show!
One of the best, couldn’t wait for next showing. Please don’t cancel.
Do not cancel Code Black. One of the best shows on right now.
A GREAT show! It should not have been canceled. I am very disappointed CBS.
I loved the show, thought it was a gem in the world of mediocrity
One of the best shows on TV. Totally enjoy each episode, story line and all the main characters. Dont cancel or find a new home.
Another opportunity for a wonderful show to get picked up by another network. Innovative writing, great mix of faces, plots, characters, etc. And yet trash like Big Brother, and like it live on. On CBS.
Great show and cast. Do not cancel!!!!!!!!
Please do not cancel Code Black. This show is one of my favorite medical series that I have looked forward to and enjoy each week. It’s a shame when you get to know and get attached to the characters, follow the series then they cancel the show. It makes me not want to put my time and energy in getting attached to a series. This news was a real disappointment. I was looking forward to next season until I read this status of the show. Let me repeat, “Please do not cancel Code Black”.
My wife and I love this show, please don’t cancel. The cast is great. I’ve never wrote for something like this before but the only other one I wanted to was Harry’s Law which I thoroughly loved and it cancelled, so I please ask you to renew Code Black.
Thank you.
