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
Love this show
My husband and I both LOVE Code Black. Please tell me it’s going to come back on again. We looked forward to seeing it every Wednesday. Our married daughter also Loved it. Great stories, great characters, great TV!!!!
I think Code Black is the best medical drama on television currently. The characters are relatable and the plots aren’t too unbelievable. Love it!
Please don’t cancel the show. One can’t help but get emotionally involved in every episode. The characters are really great to watch.
Very enjoyable medical show. Please have episode 3 and 4 then more…
We want a season 3 for Code Black
I can’t even believe this is a question. By far and away the best medical drama currently on TV
please don’t cancel Code Black. It is by far my favorite medical drama series. I fell in love with Mama and I fell in love with Papa. Don’t make the same mistake that you made in the series starring Katherine Heigl. I just hate it when you you people just do not care what we like.
I’m absolutely loving Code Black here in the UK. It’s really fast paced with great characters. Hoping it gets renewed!
Code Black is a great show….keeps you on the edge of your chair…….and the hour goes so fast……
This show should be renewed……for several more seasons……
I love this show. Please do not cancel this show.
Please do cancel this show. It may be a little unrealistic at times, but it is well-acted and provides decent adult view.
CB has been to Germany, too. I was waching it and loved it at all. In german, and english. My brother is an ER doc, so I know how all’s working. Live is always a struggle and suffer. But there’s hope and love – and for our health, we have great docs 🙂
I live here in Sydney,Australia.We get lots of American show’s.Thankfully,we get Code Black – One of,if NOT the best show currently on TV.Excellent acting,great storylines,unpredictable,characters you care about without going into bad soapie land,and comes across so realistic that it feels more like a documentary.
Code Black is great TV,and I hope to see more.Season 2 currently airing here.
