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 keep this show. We look for it each week because it is exciting and very life like!! We have never seen the follow up episode to the major wreck scene on an Interstate Highway. Really looking forward to seeing how it ends.
Please renew this series. It keeps us on our toes watching the show. We love it and can’t wait until its on again each week. PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW.
please renew series. one of the best series going.
I am kept on the show from beginning line to the very end and watch the previews for the next Code Black episode. I get so absorbed that the time flies by in a hurry and the end is near. This is the most real and agonizing time on TV. As an old nurse, it spellbinds me with the accuracy of the situations and personalities. Please do NOT cancel this program.
keep it on””’ a great show””
