Code Black is another hospital series with trauma and drama that takes you beyond the norm. In it’s 2nd season, Code Black continues to hold it’s own in the ratings. Grant you, there’s nothing earth shattering happening that doesn’t happen in other medical series, save maybe one, but like the other medical series, it’s exciting, insightful and quite informative. Over the last two seasons, Code Black has featured many actors. Currently, three main doctors that were featured in season one have been replaced.
Each week after showing short excerpts from last week’s show and a quick lead in to the current show, Code Black displays the following statements to your screen:
When there are more patients than resources [in the emergency room].
An influx of patients so great, there aren’t enough resources to treat them.
The average ER is in Code Black five times per year.
Angels Memorial hospital in Los Angeles is in Code Black 300 times per year.
After displaying their customized definition of Code Black, the action begins. Like ER and Grays Anatomy, Code Black features mini stories about the patients that have been brought into the ER, with running stories about the staff of their permanent doctors: Residency Director, Dr. Leanne Rorish (Marcia Gay Harden), Attending ER Physician, Dr. Rollie Guthrie (William Allen Young), Chief of Surgery, Dr. Will Campbell (Boris Kodjoe) four resident interns: Dr. Malaya Pineda (Melanie Chandra), Dr. Mario Savetti (Benjamin Hollingsworth), Dr. Angus Leighton (Harry Ford), Dr. Mike Leighton (Tommy Dewey) and senior head nurse of Angels Memorial: Jesse “Momma” Salander (Luis Guzmán).
SEASON TWO:
Angels Memorial welcomes Dr. Ethan Willis (Rob Lowe), a U.S. Army colonel attached to the U.S. military’s prestigious Combat Casualty Care research program. He joins the ER staff at Angels Memorial after the Army pulls him from the battlefield in Afghanistan.
Dr. Will Campbell (Boris Kodjoe), this highly regarded surgeon from season one, has become the new Chief of the ER as well, in order to save money.
Elliot Dixon (Noah Gray-Cabey), a new intern.
Dr. Amanda Nolan (Kathleen Rose Perkins), a new psychiatrist.
Noa Kean (Emily Tyra), a new first year resident in the ER.
Code Black is exciting and entertaining. I enjoy watching it and I think anyone else who watches it will like it as well. Code Black currently airs on CBS.
