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?
Please, Please, keep this show and don’t even think to cancel. It is in our top 5, but I am curious how do they check the ratings of shows that are on the same time but so many people DVR the other show to watch later. We do that all the time if we go out or cannot watch at that time. I think this is VERY common.
Renew and move to an earlier time slot!! This is a great show!!
love this show. Don’t cancel it. It is a great show that I don’t miss each week!
renew-renew=renew
Please Please give Code Black another season! I thought you made the transition from 1st year residents to second years brilliantly. You can do it again!!
PLEASE give Code B;cal another season! You did very well transitioning from 1st year residents to 2nd year, you can do it again! It’s one of my Number 1 favorite shows. Please please keep it going!!
I love this show!
One of the best shows currently on TV…
This is the best medical show on tv right now. Why would you cancel a winner?
This is one of CBS’s best shows leave it alone, and quit putting this other junk shows in its place
I really look forward to watching this show. My daughter comes over to watch it too because she does not have Dish. She was so disappointed that it might be cancelled, as was I.
Do NOT Cancel!!!
Please keep this show! The dynamics are superb!
This is an excellent show. Combines exceptionally realistic ER life (I am a respiratory therapist who works in a Level I Trauma Center ER) with genuine human drama. Exceptionally well written and produced, very realistic (although I wish they would feature a respiratory therapist–we seem to be an invisible profession). I have enjoyed every single episode and do not intend to ever stop watching!
DON’T CANCEL!! I love this show. It’s my go to weekly show to relax when the kids are asleep. I get so involved I think I cry almost every episode!
do not cancel this show rocks
