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?
Love code black
Love Code Black show! Please don’t cancel. Haven’t seen a show as good as this in a long while. Seems to get better with each episode.
Renew, we look forward to this every week
LOVE THIS SHOW. IT SHOULD BE RENEWED.
Code Black is an excellent series with well-developed characters and interesting storylines, Please don’t cancel one of the most intelligent shows on TV.
This is an excellent show…the cast is great – the stories are terrific! I hope it gets renewed. I am getting to the point where I am going to stop watching network shows. They don’t give them a chance or you watch them for years and then they are cancelled with no wrap up or explanation (CSI Miami and CSI New York for example).
Please, please renew!!!
Excellent show please keep.
Excellent show it should be renewed
Great show! Really hope it gets renewed.
I actually really like Code Black. To me, it is far better then many of the recent medical dramas (and has a really good cast) so I hope that it is given another season. Please, please.
This is a great show. Please keep it.
Code Black is the best medical drama since ER and may even surpass that show. Please continue Code Black.
One of the best medical shows on TV right now. The quick work by the cast is great. My husband was a para-medic and loves to remember all the quick thinking that is shown on the show. Characters have substance – more medical less love triangle.
Awesome show. Please keep this one for sure! Love all actors and the story is interesting and fresh. So glad to have this type of entertainment on TV
