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.

Please don’t cancel. Gripping. Intense. Love the drama
This my absolute favorite new show! My daughters and I all love. I’ll be extremely upset if this gets cancelled!
keep it on
My daughter and I, who live in 2 different states, both love this show. I’ve never liked a “Doctor” show before, but the acting, storyline and fast pace is the best thing on TV. Keep this show!
great show. Good acting and fabulous action in the ER Realistic.
I really like this show, each week I like it even more. Give it a chance, great acting, great storylines!
I like this show. I think the acting is good, particularly that of Marcia Gay Harden, Luis Guzman and Raza Jaffrey. I think the story lines and character development are becoming more interesting and complex. I hope that this series is given at least another season.
My husband and I like the series. It has more to do with medical situations and less to do with hopping into bed with other doctors. Don’t get me wrong I like Grey’s Anatomy, but I like an occasional medical drama that focuses less on romance and more on medical emergencies. Please don’t cancel.
