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 love the show, don’t cancel it.
LOVE THIS SHOW – please keep it going
RENEW THIS SHOW it is awesome, edgy, well acted, tells stories GREAT TV
The drama of Code Black is so intense- it has me on the edge of my seat every week- I get so invested in the characters -even the ones that are only on for a week- very great acting on all accounts
I love Code Black and hope it comes back- I would be so disappointed if it didn’t
Code Black is exciting and awesome the new improved ER!
This is an excellent show. Haven’t enjoyed a show so much since ER. Please renew this show
Renew,this is a a tv show myself and my friends never miss.
Being a nurse, love this show. Please renew.
Code Black is a splendidly acted first-class drama worthy of a very long run.
Please do not cancel this show. I am tired of shows with nothing but sex and violence, this is a well written interesting show.
Love this show! All the extra relationship drama, zombies, etc. I can do without. The reality of what doctors, nurses, and patients really go through is entertaining enough. Please don’t “Jump the shark” and try too hard. It can get real cheesy for such a realistic show and pulls you out of it. PLEASE renew!
Love Code Black and that’s coming from an emergency and trauma nurse. Please keep up the good work.
