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?
Don’t understand why code black is being cancelled !!! We don’t need any new stupid game shows !!! Please rethink this. This is a wonderful show and would hate to see it go to the wayside !!!
Love Code Black! Would love to see a change in the decision to cancel this wonderful show! Please bring it back!!!
Why does an excellent medical drama with an excellent large cast and excellent storylines get left high & dry and hung out to die, but drivel (like WAAAAAY too many ‘reality’ shows !!!) gets picked up for yet another season EVERY SINGLE TIME ?!?!?! ‘You’ should be ashamed of yourselves for cancelling this most engaging show, CBS ‘powers that be’ !!!
This is our favorite show on all TV. Please do not cancel.
I am so disappointed about Code Black being cancelled. Who made this awful decision and why. Whoever made it has made a mistake because if you look at some other offerings from your network I am pretty sure you could find several worth cancelling. Code Black is Not one of them. Unbelievable!!

Great show! Better than ER was in its prime. Hope someone wakes up and picks this series up
This show should NOT be canceled. It is one of the best hospital/emergency i have seen in a long time. Good back stories with just the right amount of action.
