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?
Code Black should be renewed. It’s a great show. Why do these good shows get cancelled for crappy ones
Code Black is the finest, best produced and acted medical show EVER.
It should be renewed.
Absolutely!! Code Black should be renewed. It is one of the best shows on TV now and would be difficult to replace with anything of the same quality!
Code Black should be renewed AT ONCE!!!!! It’s one of the best shows ever…BOOOOOO to CBS!!!
You are making a huge mistake by cancelling Code Black. Its the best show of the summer. Time to rethink your decision or let another network have the wonderful and moving show.
I enjoyed this show.Disappointed it was cancelled
This is my favorite show, we have been in need of a new medical show for a while. Great cast and story lines. Needs to be renewed, or somehow get another station to pick it up!
No, is should NOT have been cancelled.
Hollywood needs to stop reproducing old tv shows, reality tv, and similar trash tv, and keep shows like Code Black which actually have great storylines and characters/actors.
Such a sad loss.
This show was the first one in a long time with characters worth cheering for each week. Flawed and quirky but likeable misfits who came together to work miracles.
I will miss this show!
my wife and i loved the show , and were very sad to see it canceled…….bring it back.
Code Black is an excellent show and should be renewed. I’ be enjoyed following the lives of the cast members. Big mistake to cancel!
Black Code should have been renewed
Code Black was a very good show, we watched it every week. It is a hole lot better than Big Brother, that is on 4 times every week.
one of the best shows on tv
How sad. One on the best shows on TV. I am very disappointed it wasn’t renewed.
