The Forgotten Marcia Gay Harden Medical Drama You Can Binge On Amazon Prime – Looper

Alongside Academy Award and Tony winner Marcia Gay Harden, “Code Black” boasts a panoply of recognizable faces. Starting in season two, Rob Lowe joined the cast as Army Medical Corps vet Dr. Ethan Willis. Luis Guzmán plays nurse Jesse Salander, the caring Mama to Harden’s tough-as-nails Daddy — that’s what they call her on the show, we’re not being weird. If you, like millions of Americans, have an itch that only Kevin Dunn can scratch, look no further than “Code Black,” where he plays the suspicious Dr. Taylor for nine episodes.

The show’s first season was as divisive as it’s mathematically possible to be, with critics on Rotten Tomatoes hanging a 50% approval rating around its neck. Positive takes compared the series to “ER,” while less forgiving reviewers described it as a rehash of well-worn territory that “Grey’s Anatomy” had already planted a flag in a decade prior. Still, if you’re looking for a medical drama with a cast of pedigreed performers, “Code Black” has 100 cc’s of high drama waiting to drip into your arm over on Amazon Prime.
