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?
Code Black was one of the few shows I looked forward to watching every week. Too bad programmers once again canceled a great show with a great cast but keep the boring same reality shows going. Bring back Code Black!
I looked forward to watching Code Black every week. It was a great show and great cast. Once again programmers cancel the good shows and keep the boring reality series going. Thumbs down to the network for scrapping Code Black!
I am so very bummed it was cancelled. One of the best TV shows over the past several years. It showcases many problems normal people face every day. I hope another station picks it up.
I’ve written before, but please please please don’t cancel Code Black. The actors are great in their roles, the writing is excellent – the show brings up real gritty problems that people face in their every day lives and handles them very effectively. It’s so sad that such a great show is being cancelled…
I love Code Black. Please do not cancel it.
One of the best shows on TV right now – great actors and great characters. Please don’t cancel. This beats any reality show, drama, or comedy out there.
Please do not cancel Code Black – it is one of the better shows on – original – full of action and drama. The cast are awesome and believable. There are so many channels with nothing worth watching or so many remakes where writers are having to go back and copy someone else’s writings because they have little or no imagination to write a hit show. This was one of the better show and was one of my favorites. I really looked forward to watching this every week. It is a shame that CBS has made the decision to cancel… Read more »

I love Code Black, it’s sad that a good clean show is being cancelled. The actors and story line are excellent. Love Rob Lowe! Grrrrrr
Of the past seasons shows Code Black is one that should be renewed . Such a wonderful cast that portrayed believable characters . The situations were so realistic . There is so many shows currently that depict violence, deprevarity, morally corrupt characters . Code Black is drama within the personal work place . It is sad that it has been canceled . Shame on CBS .
So sad to see Code Black is being cancelled. My daughter and I really enjoy watching this show. All the episodes have been so interesting and couldn’t wait for the next one. Please don’t cancel.
