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?
This is the best medical/drama show on TV. It has real medical issues & trauma with all of the personal crap on the other shows. PLEASE renew!!!
Please keep this show going ! Thank you
KEEP THIS SHOW GOING!!!!!!
Code Black has long been one of our favorites until last night. The dancing and singing by the cast was very unnecessary. We understand it was one woman vision, but it still was very distracting.
Please renew Code Black. I love this show.
Fantastic show and cast.
I am in medical field and this show is the one that comes closest to real life. I love all the characters and literally can’t wait until the next week’s showing. I am very critical of what series I watch, so (even though you don’t know me) this should speak volumes as to the validity and quality of this show. Keep it going!
Dead on! My dad was in the military. And I too am in the medical field. The adding if Rob Lowe’s character just enhanced the show! Please renew! It’s the best medical drama out!
