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?
I really like this series. If a show has to be canceled, please cancel “My 600 lb life”. Code Black has some very talented actors.
We really enjoy the show. It’s a refreshing change of pace. Love Mama and Angus! Now, when will it he back?
I think “Code Black” is the best drama on TV!! Real medical issues and just a little romance. Great Show! Great Acting!
This is one of the few shows that makes me watch tv.
I love this show. It needs to come back on STAT
Love this show!! Worked the ER for 19 years and it rings true. Granted it’s TV land so there are always extra issues but then there were always issues at our workplace too, LOL. Well done!
When will Code Black (Season 3) start airing? Watched the first two seasons, would like for it to come back on.

Excellent writing and superbly acted! Wife and I vote to keep Code Black and give it a clean bill of health.
I love this show! brings back many memories – – even though I was a front-line medic. Please please, please keep it running!
Looking forward to the announcement of dates for season three.
