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?
The cast is amazing, the plot of each episode is good and solid. Better than many shows on TV right now. Please renew!!
Please do not kill Code Black! That last episode had all the characteristics of a story riding off into TV oblivion. RENEW! RENEW! RENEW! ‘Campbell’ is just becoming part of the team – as Leanne predicted – and the character ‘Willis’ has given me a new respect for Rob Lowe’s work that I did not have previously. Please – RENEW!
Keep this show. Fast paced, good acting, relevant stories. RENEW this show.
RENEW, I enjoy the show and feel that the current staff is excellent. I talked to an ER doc who said that they thought the show did a good job at portraying how the ER works.
Renew for sure! Love this show and so well done!
RENEW, I like the concept different to me than most the crap on TV. But I like most of CBS dramas

This is an exceptional series with outstanding actors. With an ever expanding wasteland of intelligent and thoughtful programs, this series has given me hope that more series like this one could be forthcoming. I look forward to seeing “Code Black” every week. Please bring it back.
