Oct 8, 2015Disastrous. In more than one way!
The amount of work that goes into this show does not warrant the output. So much time is spent on making it "real" and "accurate" and upping the chaos that every other aspect does not get the appropriate attention in production. -

Dec 7, 2016Started out a good show. Maybe a writer left? If you are gonna write about life in a hospital, make sure you get the facts right. If a prisoner was handcuffed, no one would take the cuffs off! There are other things. Hang it up!

Code Black is at war with itself, trying to sell its setting's realistically jagged edges even as it files them down to nothing.
-
The whole show is stocked with actors on Guzmán and Harden's level--pros you're never not happy to see, including William Allen Young as the hospital's longest-serving resident, and Kevin Dunn, who oversees the logistics of the ER and delivers wisecracks in his midwestern deadpan. The younger, prettier actors playing the residents--Benjamin Hollingsworth, Bonnie Somerville, Melanie Chandra, and Harry Ford among them--seem overmatched and a bit on the bland side, but that's to be expected, and if the writing on this Michael Seitzman series picks up, that could improve.

Code Black might seem more interesting if it felt in any way new. As it is, it feels like it's built from parts of medical dramas from years past.
