Code Black: Ärzte am Limit

This was an excellent show. The acting was terrific. There were no "red shirt" medical staffers. Well established characters died, when scripts called for it.

This show didn't disappoint. CBS did disappoint. This show was poorly supported, under promoted, and was given limited numbers of episodes. Finding this show was tough. There was a long time between show runs. In 2016 it ended the fall season after thirteen weeks. In 2017, at the fall season it didn't show up, it was late into the tv year before CBS announced it would be a summer series. Shortly after making it's long awaited premiere CBS announced it was cancelled. By June 2018 plot synopses were already listed in IMDB.

While it was on we met medical staff of Angels Memorial Hospital, a teaching hospital. We met newly minted doctors and a barrage of patients. Rapid changes in staffing, politics, power and money kept things off keel. Like life, people came and went, brining their needs and talents both with them. Constants were grizzled Nurse Jesse, the man called mama, and fiercely compassionate Dr. LeAnn Rorish, who by default was known as daddy. (Mostly to mama, others did not address her as such.

I'm going to miss this show.

I have to add one thing to this review, being that I worked at the hospital that this show is based on. I'm a nurse, and I don't watch medical TV shows as I find them to be Sci-fi in genre. There are a select few, but Code Black is a show that is bringing us good, bad, ugly, beautiful, horror and on of the life and emotions of those working TOGETHER in a big city ER. The cast, who at first seems odd, blends beautifully together to form a team. All these reviews have said it. Just another 10 stat for this show.

I love this medical drama. It is not like the others and keeps me interested the whole time. I love the characters and to actors that portray them do an outstanding job. I'm so upset about the cancellation. I really hope another network picks it up.

If you have actually watched this show, you would know that you have a one of a kind best ever show! All of these episodes have made everyone that has seen them love the characters! All episodes keep you on the edge of your seat. You never know what's going to happen next and you want to keep watching! I am really sad to lose this show to watch! Whoever is making the decision to cancel this show has not watched it or you are completely blind and a total idiot!

Once in a blue moon, a show comes along that is so powerful, so touching, and so darn important that you feel like life's a little different for watching it. This is one of those shows. I understand the struggle and the tenacity of the people who live this and praise this show for depicting nurses and doctors in the best way possible. Bravo.
