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?
Love this show! By far the best medical show on tv.
Code Black is absolutely one of the best shows on tv. Great acting, scripts, casting, are well above the norm. So many shows that should be cancelled are stupidly still on the air. Makes no sense.
The best show ever. Right in alignment with the Chicago Series
Looking forward to a third season; great acting
I love this show don’t cancel
Code Black is great. it got better in season 2 with Rob Lowe.. Its realistic.
Bring back Code Black please. There are SO few shows worth watching anymore!
OMG!! I AM A RETIRED NURSE, AND I LOVE, LOVE THIS SHOW.
PLEASE KEEP THIS SHOW!!!!!
Code Black gives us a fast paced entertainment with a realistic environment.
Hope it returns
Love Code Black. Do Not Cancel……please
CODE BLACK SHOULD NOT BE CANCELLED. I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING IT WEEKLY
I absolutely Love Code Black! It keeps you going from beginning to end! Awesome cast too!
Waiting patiently for the return of the next best show to Grey’s, Code Black. Hope it’s back on soon.
I love the show and the actors. Hope it’s coming back.
This is the fastest hour on TV. I love this show and putting Criminal Minds in it’s slot on Wednesday at nine is awful. I was so disappointed last week that this great show wasn’t on. PLEASE BRING IT BACK.
