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 really miss Code Black. It was a good show and I am really interested in medical dramas that aren’t all about sex. I like the medical part. That was pretty much the only thing I watched on regular TV. Otherwise I watch ID TV.
Wow, I can not believed they cancelled code black… At this rate I will no longer be watching lower channels. The networks just keep dropping shows like their underwear. Once Hawaii-five -0 and blue bloods are gone no reason for me to watch channel 2 or CBS anymore… Maybe networks should ask the views what they want instead of just dropping shows that people want & like… But they live in this lil bubble and do not care what others think….
If i think Code Black should have more seasons it was cancelled anyway along with salvation takes two brave deception soon iam going to watch my DVDs hand stop to watch tv with so many talk shows and reality and reboot that sucks
Code Black is a high quality show, not only presenting tense and realistic medical plots, but also crisp and layered dialogue. The cast is uniformly wonderful, with detailed personalities.
The show with the fantasy scene with everyone dancing was marvelous and creative. We obviously want it renewed, to include following Rob Lowe’s complicated character.
Really liked this show! You need to bring it back!
Loved this show. Bring it back!
Absolutely loved this showed. It was much different than other medical shows on TV. Loved the story line and had the perfect cast. Show network execs are crazy sometimes and cancel the best shows!
I just started watching it during Season 3 and loved it! Really disappointed it was cancelled.
You really need to bring it back. Good stories and great cast. You tried to end all of the story lines but it did not work. Bring it back!!!
I really have a hard time understanding why this show was cancelled. It was one of the very best and most interesting shows on tv. Leave on the other shows, idiotic no-thinking waste of time shows. You guys really missed the mark canceling this awesome intelligent hour a week. You have helped to dumb down the nation.
Looked forward to watching every week it was on. Great cast,this show was awesome!! Canceling was a HUGE mistake!! Really disappointed 🙁
It is a great show and it definitely should not be canceled !
Awesome show. Held interest throughout. Can’t believe it was cancelled.
The best medical show on tv. It makes you smile, it makes you cry and it makes you think about life and family. They have an awesome team on this show. Why cancelled a great show?
Loved this show. Can’t imagine why it was canceled. It was great.
