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 loved this show, can’t figure out why it was cancelled. Please bring it back
Why in the world did you CANCEL this show and keep so many silly 1/2 hr sitcoms ie THE CONNERS, BLACKISH… This was a great showed that Drs do have normal lives outside of the realm of their hectic lives inside those hospital walls and most of all that they are humans just like us. So, please if you can find a way, bring all the original cast back they as were just making their characters their own and we all loved them !!!!
I loved this show, bring it back
Please bring it back!!!
That show was amazing I’m so disappointed that it was cancelled. It was such a good show with good heart felt stories, Bribg it back!!!!
We absolutely loved Code Black and are very sad that it was canceled! The characters and plot were strong and amazing! Who made this dumb decision?
Code Black is fast-paced, gritty and full of emotional trauma and that’s just the intro for each show. It’s been wonderful watching characters grow as a result of their personal involvement in patients lives. I loved this show after the first few minutes of the first episode. I’m sick about finding about it’s possible cancellation. Was it cancelled to make room for more really sick, despicable, arranged “reality” nonsense? Not allowed in my home, just as skewed views of marriage and family life (as in Married with Children) were never watched at all let alone allowing my children to see.… Read more »
Please bring Code Black back – best med show on TV. I miss Marcia Gay Harden and her crew. Surely, you and your staff are clever enough to figure this one out!
Good show with good acting. Should be brought back!
They take off all the shows that have meaning, an put on the crap shows! I’m getting so tired of watching a show, and getting to rally like it and then they cancel it! Every show I like they cancel….. if you want to cancel something get rid of the reality shows! THEY TEACH YOU NOTHING!
I CANNOT BELIEVE A SHOW OF THIS QUALITY WAS CANCELED AND TO KEEP SHOWS ON THAT ARE JUST PLAIN DRIVEL THE WRITING THE ACTORS WERE SUPERB
I believe the series was too well written for the network and too far above the intellect of the producers. They seem unable to understand the attraction the show had.
Loved the show, Greatly missed.
I dont think you could find another pulse racing on the edge of your seat action with Code Black, must of been an internal error on the producers part.
Watched this show all 3 seasons and cannot believe it was cancelled. PLEASE bring it back!!!!
PLEASE BRING BACK. MY FAVORITE SHOW…
