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 so wish another network would pick this wonderful series… Never missed an episode either. When I was away, I recorded it and actually listened to it right until the end. I’d like to see what happened with Leanne’s custody hearing, and Willis and Rox’s relationship, and so much more. I loved the topics and the human way the scripts tackled them. I thought the play of these great actors was excellent.
Please Bring it back!! Loved it so much. Never missed an episode.
With the high ratings the show has gotten I think that it was inconceivable and ludicrous that CBS would cancel this show
Wow, What happened to hospital and the daughter?? Bring back Code Black and finish the life’s of our characters. Plus at least, CBS All Access, let us see the seasons all over again.
Omgeeeee so devastated this series was canceled. PLEASE someone pick it up. I cried every episode. Loved the show. Loved the characters. Loved the storyline. The acting was spectacular. PKEASE SOMEONE PICK UP THUS GREAT SERIES.
Should be renewed. Great show!!
Loved the show, should have been renewed.
It should of been renewed, being a nurse it was a very good program.
Wow! Really? Why would such a great show be cancelled with all the other trash out there that keeps coming back over and over again. Once again I’ll have to go searching for something decent to watch now. SOOO disappointed.
It should have been renewed. It’s a good show. I’ve been trying to find it on my DTV so I can schedule to DVR it. I hate CBS Cancelled it. Hopefully one of the other stations pick it up.
Code Black is a fantastic series and does not deserve to be cancelled especially when shows like The Good Doctor are renewed which is a dismal failure as medical shows go.
agreed!
pamala
This is the best show on network TV. Superb writing + acting. PLEASE renew!
This is one show CBS dropped the ball on. Great show
Why is Code Black getting axed? It was a great show, liked by me and my husband, which is rare that we both like the same tv show. I can’t believe it had low ratings. Super sad! Bring it back, please!
I can’t believe this show was cancelled. Why? It was one of my favorites. Bring it back and get rid f some of the trash.
