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 Code Black. My wife and I watch this shoe religiously ! There are so many shows that should be deemed “axed”. Come on America wake up, let’s help keep this awesome show going.
Bring it back dammit!!!
I love Code Black. It is my favorite show of all on tv. The best medical on tv for a long time. I never miss it.
This is a great TV show, I look forward to watching it on Wednesday nights. Please reconsider keeping the show!
There are very few shows that are worth watching on TV at the moment and Code Black is the best. I am so sick of all the reality shows…seriously considering getting rid of my cable and just doing internet shows ! Why cancel such a quality show !
very good show I look forward to it each week u will most likely put on some stupid comidy
Watched the first airing of TKO tonite. So your keeping junk like that and canceling Code Black. Please don’t cancel. It’s A very good show.
To bad that cbs does not know a good show when they see one. The characters are believable and the script keeps you on the edge of your seat. One more nail in cbs coffin if you ask me.
Really sorry to hear this. There is nothing worth watching in the summer and shows like Big Brother, Bachelorette or the game shows are not good. This was a good show so that must be why it’s cancelled. Typical.
Code black was one of the best hospital shows in a long time. The characters are believable and the script keeps you on the edge of your seat. Up there with criminal minds. A shame that a good show like this are not recognized for what they are. Very sorry to see it go. One more nail in cbs coffin.
Cancelling this? Really? There is nothing worth watching in the summer and this was one show I was enjoying. The rest of the programs like Big Brother, Batchelorette and game shows all suck.
REALLY CBS? I love CBS, but seriously, why would you cancel one of the best shows that I have seen in a long time. This show ranks right up there with Chicago PD, Criminal Minds, etc. It is much better than all the other shows on the other channels. Although I am sure that my comments won’t make you change your mind. I thought that I would try.
I love this show, record each show and share with friends. The best show on tv. Please renew.
Please please do not cancel Code Black! This is the best medical show on tv since ER. My whole family watches it . There are 4 generations living in this household, and i am a 78 yr old great grand mother. I have never begged to keep a TV show on, but I’m begging for this one. The cast is great, scripts are great and we are faithful watchers of CBS! Thanks you!
cbs has realy screwed up there line up next ncis will b gone then I will be done watching the channel altogether
We love code black!!!! No one gets up as long as this show is on. It is the best show on now!!! Someone else got it right when they said they hate all the stupid reality shows. I can’t believe people even believe they are real and not orchestrated.
Code Black is my favorire show. PLEASE do not cancel this show.
