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?
It’s amazing what a disappointment you people are at CBS! FINALLY! We had an excellent and great show to watch and you people cancel it! How embarrassing for you all! I record all my other shows, but this was the only one I would watch live and couldn’t wait until Wednesday night! That’s it CBS! I’M DONE WITH YOU!
Why would you cancel Code Black? It is one of the best drama shows on tv. The problem is you share seasons with more than one show and people forget what’s coming on when. And the comment of one viewer about not everyone liking reality shows couldn’t be more true. Hate is not a strong enough feeling for how I feel about shows like Big Brother, Survivor, Bachelor, and the list goes on. It must be much cheaper to put those shows on than having to pay actors – don’t know the reason, but I’m tired of losing the shows… Read more »
This is one of the greatest show…very realistic, great actors and excellent story line. Makes you feel like you are there while they do all they can for the patients. Don’t cancel it but maybe put it at a different time to get more viewers. If not willing to move, please renew it. Everytime I find a show that is a great show, it gets cancelled but none of the stupid reality shows don’t get cancelled. That is nearly all you can watch anymore unless you pay more on cable, dish, direct TV to get other channels. Tired of reality… Read more »

I cannot believe they will cancel this show. I love it and all the characters on it. Perfect fit, perfect show with the right mix of reality and hope.
Love this show, disappointed to hear it has been cancelled.
I can’t believe their canceling this great show. We need to start a petition to keep this show on the air!
Please don’t be so stupid if you cancel this show I, will stop watching your network altogether. I can not believe, that you are so dumb that once again you cancel a show that is fit to watch. Code black I truly think it is time for a big change in upper management. Well since you have canceled some of the best shows on TV ( The Brave, Code Black) I am forever convinced, that you are all nuts!!!

OMG you are so right. All these Networks are cancelling all these good shows. I’m so with you. I’m so so so tired of all these stupid reality shows, it’s insane, they are frickin so stupid. They finally get TV back to some kind of normal with real nice shows to watch and enjoy and then cancel them only to replace them with stupid ass reality shows. Something has to give
I agree I can not believe they would cancel this show when it is one of the best on tv right now.
I love this show so much! The acting and storylines are the best. I am really sorry it’s cancelled and hope for a miracle that CBS changes their minds!
