Code Black

The only word that comes to mind when I think about this show is . . . wow. It's so powerful. It's so beautiful. It's such a great show.

Given the genre being medical, in my honest opinion, I find this medical drama to be far superior for several reasons. For example:

1) We don't get the cliche stories of doctors sleeping around. 2) The medical cases are interesting almost all the time. 3) The main cast is great. 4) The directing is awesome. I can only imagine how difficult it must be to direct a show with such a chaotic environment. 5) This one builds of #4 - I love the environment that this show is try to depict. I have seen the documentary that it is based off and it is really admirable to see that they are trying to show this environment in a TV environment. Everyone should see the documentary. It is definitely a must-see!

I just love this show a lot. And I watch a lot of TV.

The mix of characters in this night's episode was tremendous! I was on the edge of my seat the whole episode, and I also alternated between laughter and tears of happiness for the characters who found truth, worth, focus, and love all in one hour. The whole cast should be commended.

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.

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.
