    Simply Amazing and Gripping

    I am dumb founded at how this was rated below 10/10 ( it really is a 12/10). It was truly captivating and it had so many elements that made me want to watch more. I love it! i really do hope they bring this to the UK, because it is truly something that people can relate to. All the actors are amazing and lovable in there own way. I enjoyed the boldness that director had to address the stigma of homosexuality but the also the stigma of homosexuality in the Afro/Black community. The different emotions that were acted out were simply executed in a highly skilled manner. It showed the different routes that people take to find success, and the different sacrifices that they had to give up in order for them to gain there success. it is clear that a lot of thought went into the different characters and the way they are interrelated extremely entertaining. but yeah keep them coming!

    A surprisingly good show

    I will admit, the only reason why I started watching this show was because of Jewel Staite, and wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well it was made.

    The show follows the lives of a group of friends as they try to make it in LA. This isn't an entirely new concept, but what sets this show apart is how all of the characters are very believable. It's a hard industry that's hard on the people trying to earn a living off of it, and this show shows that side of the story.

    Fair warning, this show seems to be made for people who have made parts of their lives a part of the industry. If you're an actor, improviser, singer, comedian, producer, or ever tried making a career somewhere along that path, you will completely relate with all the characters as they struggle for their "break." If not, it's still a decent watch, but it may not hit as hard.

    Great show

    When I saw the premise of this show, I was ready to dismiss it and never look back. Somehow I watched the first episode and immediately fell in love.

    L.A.Complex is not about rich and beautiful people living a meaningless life, it is about young people struggling and finding their place in the world. I have never lived in L.A. so I cannot talk from my experience, but this show feels real.

    The characters are quite deep and interesting. Give this a chance, it is one of the better shows, in fact, this is my favorite show at the moment.

    Funny and Well-Done

    First of all, the score on here is STUPID. A bunch of trolls have given horrible ratings, most likely without even watching the show. The same thing has happened with another Canadian show, Bomb Girls. It doesn't make sense to me why people, especially Canadians, would sabotage the score of a home-grown show when it's hard enough as it is to find quality Canadian programming.

    Anyways, the show itself is quite good, especially considering the limitations of a Canadian budget. The actors are fresh-faced and capable, and the writing is often funny. The dialogue flows well, and is tightly composed overall. While the set-up for the show isn't very original, it's still much less explored than hospital or cop shows. Overall, it's surprisingly good for a Canadian show and is an enjoyable little piece of TV. Hopefully people who actually watch it will start to vote up the score!

    The best show ever!!

    I must admit I didn't even know about this show until after the 3rd or 4th episode had already aired. One of my Facebook friends had posted a video. I watched the video and I was instantly hooked. I don't even remember what my initial response was but I knew I had fallen in love. I'm glad that I came across that video. I would, if I could remember who posted it, thank them for turning me onto a really phenomenal show. The cast is amazing and the story lines keep you glued to the screen, afraid to turn the channel for fear that you would miss something. I'm asking all who will read this review to please, Please, Please, check out the show and vote. Also check out the Facebook page and Twitter profile. Just search for The L.A. Complex on either social network. We need more fans and reviews!!!!! For all who watch the show prepare to be amused and never bored!!!!!! :). S/O to all the cast members and production staff for giving the world an awesome show.
