action
The series depicts the daily work of doctors in an understaffed and overwhelmed emergency room in a fictional hospital in Los Angeles. The title “Code Black” results from the hospital emergency codes that are now typical in North America , which are intended to alert hospital staff in this disguised type of message without disturbing people who are not part of the staff.
Code black means that the emergency room has reached or even exceeded its capacity and that optimal care for emergencies can no longer be guaranteed.
The core of the series are the sometimes acute and extremely critical emergencies that the permanent staff has to cope with together with some assistant doctors. Some personal aspects of the characters are also highlighted, such as: B. Dr. Leanne Rorish and the loss of her family in a traffic accident that she was the only one to survive.
On the other hand, for example, Dr. Mario Savetti, who, as a self-chosen loner, is only slowly learning to trust his colleagues and to integrate into the team.
With every resident doctor there is a (albeit small) development from episode to episode, be it on a collegial or professional basis.
Cast and dubbing
Scalamedia GmbH, Munich, is responsible for the German-language synchronization of the series. The dialogue is directed by Hubertus von Lerchenfeld .
particularities
