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?
I can’t believe that you are cancelling Code Black. That is a very good show. It shows how co-workers become family and how they save peoples lives. I was really disappointed that there was such a short run time
I can’t believe they would be canceling the show. I never have missed an episode, is the best TV series on right now as far as I’m concerned. Seems like every time there’s a series that I love they have to cancel it. We want it back.
So sad that Code Black has been cancel love the show would love to have it to continue.
There is so many reality shows that shouldn’t be on that doesn’t make any since and when their is a good show on it’s gets cancel.
Renewed!!!!
Why are you canceling this show. It’s my favorite. I wait all week to watch it. Bring it back or I wil start a boycott of CBS.
It was one of my favorite..Why would you cancel it..There are some really crappy shows that could go.
This was a very good show. Why did you cancel it. Enjoyed it.
Good TV that probably will be replaced by something I will not watch
CBS need to replaced the director of network programming instead
Great show, sure wish you didn’t cancel it. There is nothing to watch on Wednesday night except this great show.
This show is terrific, no way it should be cancelled. We know these characters and are invested in their stories. Bring Them Back
This show is one of my and my husband’s favorite shows! We look forward to seeing it every week. Please reconsider the cancellation!
OMG, it’s one of my favorite shows, please don’t cancel!!!
I really like this show. I cant believe they are cancelling this show. The network do not give some of these shows enough tome. I hae when they do this
One of the few shows I watched on TV this year. Big mistake, hopefully another network will pick up. I am down to less than 10 shows a week on TV. Time to cut able!
I love Code Black, both the story lines and the cast. I hate that it is cancelled while CBS keeps junk like Big Brother and Survivor on every year which panders to the worst of people.
