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.

Love this show. I want it to be continued!!
Code Black is one of the best medical dramas to air on television in some time.
Diverse cast and interesting plot lines make it well worth watching. Certainly hope it is renewed.

one of the best shows in many years. Look forward to it every week. Actors are superb and the stories are excellent drama.
Renew please…Love this show❤
I work night turn at a hospital and DVR Code Black every week. I usually can’t wait to get home on Thursday morning so I can watch it. It keeps me on the edge of my seat most of the time and brings me to tears other times. It’s a really good show. I find it very believable. Please don’t take it off the air.
Love the show! Highlight of my weekly TV viewing. It is a show that treats the viewers like they have brains. Well thought out situation with doctors and nurses showing that they have feelings, too. Please do NOT cancel this show
Code Black is a fine ensemble show, nicely written, well acted, and nicely filme.d. It should continue.
This is a great in depth show. One of the better ones in a while. You need to check the older demographic. We watch WAY more tv than the under 49 group. Keep it on. Leave shoes for us with depth and good characters and decent writing!! I’m 61 my husband 63. Love this show.
I’m 62 years old and I really like Code Black. Please do not cancel it.

Please keep code black. The show is awesome and intense.
