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?
Please do not cancel! Best show with character and heart!!!!
Don’t cancel. Such a good show with character and heart!!!!
This show is fantastic! It should NOT be cancelled!!! Please renew it!
Great cast and great story lines. Cancel some of those stupid programs like Big Brother.
Seems like the quality shows are always the ones to be cancelled!!
Love this show…DO NOT CANCEL!
The best medical sho since ER. And yes I’m a Grey’s fan. CODE BLACK is just so well done. The writing and the acting just keep getting better. CBS really needs to keep this show going. They are so quick to cancel quality programming and keep stupid things like BIG BROTHER for 20 years. Really?? Are you kidding me? You have to reconsider this decision.
Keep the show I love it. Renew it
This is one of my favorite TV shows. Please do not cancel.
Why is it that stupid reality shows are renewed year after year and shows like this get cancelled.
DO NOT CANCEL CODE BLACK! My husband and I love this show. We watch every episode.
Best show!!! Not happy!!
My husband and I enjoy this show. I’m not happy that it will be cancelled.
One of best shows on. RENEW, RENEW, RENEW
This is my favorite TV show!!! I am beyond upset, aggravated – PLEASE renew!!!!
Why do great shows like CB keep getting cancelled, when they’re rating great?? This is one of the best shows on tv. Do the powers that be at these networks remotely care what the actual customers want? They put on maybe one good show per season and then 3 years later, after getting us hooked, toss it in the can!! Please ABC, NBC, FOX, pick this much loved, exciting, well cast show up and make a lot of viewers HAPPY!!
One of the better shows on TV. Great characters. So sorry it’s cancelled.
Please don’t cancel Code Black. The drama is better without sacrificing time in center stage. But, get rid of the kid with camera. Very inappropriate.
