THE SEASON<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

In the country\u2019s busiest emergency room, you\u2019re either looking for a miracle… or performing one. In Code Black: Season One<\/em><\/strong>, Residency Director Dr. Leanne Rorish (MARCIA GAY HARDEN) leads four first-year residents through the life-or-death challenges that will change the courses of their careers and lives. Rookies Christa Lorenson (BONNIE SOMERVILLE), Malaya Pineda (MELANIE CHANDRA), Mario Savetti (BENJAMIN HOLLINGSWORTH) and Angus Leighton (HARRY FORD) dive into the chaos of Angels Memorial Hospital, hoping to learn from the best while facing some of life\u2019s worst. Head Nurse Jesse Sallander (LUIS GUZMAN), affectionately known as \u201cMama,\u201d administers tough love as the ER\u2019s main manager and Dr. Rorish\u2019s closest friend. Each doctor has their personal reasons for being here, and the scars of their past come into play even as they work to save others\u2019 futures.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Code Black: Season 1<\/em><\/strong> arrives on DVD through Paramount presented with an anamorphic 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio as originally televised. Colors are more on the darker spectrum in keeping with the dramatic tone yet there are splashes of color giving it a nice pop.<\/p>\n

The Dolby Digital 5.1 track offers clean dialogue levels throughout while the music as well as ambient noises round things out making for a nice track with some modest depth.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
