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?
This is one of the best shows on television. I have no idea why it would be cancelled. Very sad, Please reconsider.
I work in the medical field and I loved Code Black. Sorry to see it go. I don’t usually watch medical shows but this one I really enjoyed the actors and the edgy stories. Hope somebody picks it up
it might be the best show on tv
code black is beyond the very best telivision has to offer. lot of truth that match our lives as Every day people. It has to be renewed1
Why do they take all the good shows off the air. Code Black was won of the best medical shows on the air. Please try and get another network to pick it up. All the actors are great and the story line is to real life. I love this show so so much
I just watched the whole season. i cried my darn eyes out. I had surgery and just came home yesterday and was saving it for re coup time. They better not cancel it. Best show ever!
I can not believe Code Black has been cancelled!! It was one of the best medical shows I have ever seen. The acting was superb. Wish CBS would reconsider and bring back CODE BLACK!
We love this show, it’s one of our favorites. This show has a great cast and writers. Have enjoyed watching it since the first episode. The ethics behind the scripts are good, gives us real life issues people face and suggestions of ways to resolve and heal. Everytime a good show comes on they cancel it and put some stupid reality show on. Please reconsider, bring it back.
Totally agree! I like reality too but Code Black was superb. And, the acting, couldn’t have been better. Just amazes me that this has been cancelled. So disappointed…makes me want to just ditch networks and watch Netflix.
This is a terrific show! Why is it cancelled? PLEASE do NOT cancel. If this network decided to cancel, take it to another network. CBS is my number 1 network that has my favorite shows along with all my local news station, CBS Sunday Morning, 60 Minutes, etc. Just not happy with CBS right now. if ratings is not to your liking, then work with them. Great established actors..Lowe, Harding, Guzman along with the new kids. Can’t remember all the names, just the faces
Code Black is one of my favorite shows of all time. please bring it back.
Code Black was my favorite CBS summer go to. Needless to say I’m very disappointed CBS didn’t consider this well written diverse show worth a 4th season.
Loved the show. Please keep it on.
We love this show. Everytime a good show comes on they cancel it and put some stupid reality show on. Not everyone likes people in races or alone or naked or talking behind other people’s backs.
This was one of the few well written shows. Character development was stellar, story lines kept you hooked in. And the music! Each episode a song played in the background and completely summarized the strategic show elements. Hardin and Lowe? On TV? Best ever. Please bring it back!!’n
Season four for sure.!!!! Will miss if they don’t bring it back. Sad
Please don’t cancel Code Black. It has a great cast and story line. Have enjoyed watching it since the first episode. The ethics behind the scripts are good, gives us real life issues people face and suggestions of ways to resolve and heal. Please renew for the broad spectrum of views who rather go into Code Black than a reality road trip with Ozzie or some naked lost people. Thank you and looking forward to the new season of Code Black.
yes, you get a good show on without the F word and its cancelled. A great show based on real life.
Good grief. What is wrong with those that decide? Awesome show. Love the cast. Great scripts please reconsider
Why is it all the good shows get cancelled, I Love this show Please recosider or maybe another station will pick them up
