Brainwave68 I tuned into this show because of Beth Riesgraf whom I used to love watching in Leverage and Jason O'Mara who I used to watch in Vegas and Terra Nova before those three shows wrongly got canceled. However, in this show, I kept thinking to myself --- for some supposedly educated people they sure are stupid. For example, in episode 7 instead of agreeing to steal the drugs to get the guy off the phone why not agree until he left THEN call the gang and let them take care of it. In episode 8 instead of John going down there after having killed some one of their gang members why not just have Gretchen go instead. She already has been there successfully and they have good feelings towards her. She ended up having to go there any way to rescue him. Better yet, why not just call the cops? And what did he think was going to happen when he told the first gang that they were going to be attacked??? LOL... Beth Riesgraf is pretty much the only reason I keep watching.

maryjh-32962 I really looked forward to watching this show every week. I was never disappointed, thought it kept you on the edge of your seat. The actors fit their characters perfectly. The episodes, each filled with unexpected twists and turns, always left one intrigued, wondering what next week's show will bring.I just read a couple days ago that they're taking it off the air. Totally unexpected. Why they would do this to a perfectly great show is beyond me. I'm really disappointed. So many shows that I started getting interested in have been axed over the last couple years. I thought Complications would be one that could be enjoyed for a few seasons.

levinmongan I stumbled upon this show and luckily, I got to watch the pilot. I read most of the reviews and it seems the ratings are a little low because of the over-the-top action and "unbelievable situations". I do agree but at the same time this show presents many problems the main character faced in his past and affects him in the present. The complication in the show is the turning point where Dr. Ellison had the choice to save one kids life or evade the gun man in the car. Because he made the choice of saving another life while putting his at risk, he had no choice but to protect himself and the victim from getting shot at or ran over. This one brave action in which was done through anger and panic, started a chain reaction. The father who ran away was discovered to be a criminal himself and the gunman was associated with members of what I infer to be, a rival gang. The show's action packed events come from the fact that Ellison got himself into a gang affiliated situation along with his job on the line while his unstable mind grows accustom to violence in order to "stabilize" his mental state or relieve his tension. This show is great so far and has an exceptional plot. I look forward to watching more episodes.

reservoircat-1 Don't listen to the trolls. These are people who yell at a hamburger because it is not prime rib!This new series is dark and edgy fun for viewers who like Dexter and Banshee. Yes, 'Complications' is absolutely preposterous. It is also absolutely entertaining, for those of us willing to suspend our disbelief. No, an E.R. surgeon would never be put into such extraordinary circumstances, but so what? This is escapist pulp fiction, and it's very entertaining pulp fiction!This show is a vigilante story combined with the delerium of '24' and the background of medical procedurals. The frenetic plot is established within minutes; 15.25 minutes, to be exact. If you don't like the show in that time, then this series is not for you.Jason O'Mara is excellent as the protagonist lead. It's impossible not to cheer for his character to succeed! He is very believable as the tormented father with every mercurial mood swing. His face is capable of tremendous expressiveness. And he is given very compelling reasons for his character's outrageous decisions. Jessica Szhor is similarly brilliant in her contribution as the fringe-personality nurse; the two of these actors bring a real chemistry and grit to the storyline.If the writers can keep the next two episodes from going over the top, then this series is on a trajectory to becoming a cult classic. If the writers can't keep it on the rails, then this show will not be renewed.Go. Watch the first 15.25 minutes of episode 1, and see for yourself. If you like lurid pulp fiction, then you'll like Complications!
