SEASON:
TOMATOMETER
AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: While not reinventing the stethoscope, Code Black is an above-average medical drama, with appropriately theatrical storylines that make up for sometimes cheesy dialogue.

Tv Season Info
From creator Michael Seitzman comes this medical drama that follows Residency Director Dr. Leanne Rorish (Marcia Gay Harden) as she manages four first-year residents at the overcrowded and understaffed Angels Memorial Hospital ER Room. Dr. Rorish must also navigate her relationships and occasional differences of opinion with colleagues, including Senior Nurse Jesse Sallander (Luiz Guzman), Dr. Neal Hudson (Raza Jeffrey), and Dr. Rollie Guthrie (William Allen Young), as she attempts to successfully treat patients under often stressful circumstances.

News & Interviews for Code Black: Season 1
Critic Reviews for Code Black: Season 1
All Critics (41) | Top Critics (20) | Fresh (21) | Rotten (20)
Action and the beginning of character development are both good signs.
September 9, 2015 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
If you missed ER or would prefer your Grey's Anatomy without so much bed-hopping, this could be the show for you.
September 30, 2015 | Rating: B | Full Review…
Harden's unfortunate typecasting is the least of the ailments afflicting Code Black.
September 30, 2015 | Full Review…
If the writers keep showing off Harden and Guzman so well, Code Black should have a good shot at survival. The premiere's emotional payoff offers another reason to hope.
September 30, 2015 | Full Review…
Harden is a fine actress, but the show's writers too often give her heavy-handed lines that are the equivalent of cauterizing a head wound with a blow torch.
September 30, 2015 | Rating: C | Full Review…
Code Black is a pretty good show and a pretty recognizable one too.
September 30, 2015 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…
