    Show is pretty original about a group of young people trying to make it in the entertainment Industry in LA, which we all know is pretty cutthroat. Two episodes in and I'm pretty hooked. Highly recommend it for anyone, especially people trying to make it in any industry.

    The best youth show I've seen since original Beverly Hills, 90210. Fresh, lively, believable, without all the pathos of many other modern shows. Good story, deep characters, great acting, amazing writing, fantastic storylines, camera-work, decorations and sets. Don't know what not to like. It could be a huge success if it wasn't cancelled. Probably it was too smart for these days and audience.

    The L.A. Complex is maddeningly low-rated, but it's worth seeking out: it's no masterpiece of cinematography, and can veer into melodrama, but at its sharpest moments the show has as much "Midnight Cowboy" in it as it does "Melrose Place."

    This blah drama about kids living in an LA apartment complex while hustling for big breaks is a Canadian import. [7 May 2012, p.46]

    It's a primetime soap, but one that's genuinely more interested in what the characters want to do for a living than in who they're sleeping with.
