Well what can I say, I spent a painful few hours watching this show and it is dreadful. I am not one for harsh criticism if it's not warranted but in this case they will be getting it both barrels. OMG!!! this show is bad I have made it a rule never to judge a show based on 1 episode, I feel that's unfair, it would be like going to a restaurant and have 2 nice courses and the 3rd course lets it down and you decided never to eat there again, at least go back and give it a second chance to get it right, well that's what I did with this show. Episode one started a little poor, with what seemed to be soulless characters, they had no depth, flair or colour it was very plain, dull and predictable. That said I decided to try episode two. I accepted that episode one may have just been to try and get the audience to understand characters, and what's going on, setting the scene etc. In episode two I found myself strangely intrigued and more interested with the show, that said it was very predictable but it led me to episode 3 .Oh dear, let's say within the first 15-20 minutes of episode 3 I knew what was coming and how it would arrive. It was very very predicable and I felt cheap and let down. I felt I had been used for about 45 minutes :) OK I decided to push on and watch the remaining 3 episodes to see if I was correct and would you believe it I saw everything coming except one thing, there was only one part to the show that was not predicable but by then it was to late for me the show was over, job done, wham bam no thank you ma'am

So why have I given this show such a poor rating and a hard time. First of this to me is a cheap and tacky knock off of Entourage, what a fantastic show that was and I was sad to see it go after so many years. OK some may disagree this show is nothing like Entourage as Entourage was based around 1 guy and his crew trying to make it in Hollywood as a movie star, The LA Complex is about lots of people living in a rundown cheap complex trying to make it as TV starts. It had the usual, the good looking guys who has just been picked up for a TV pilot and is just moving out the complete as he can buy a place now (Sorry Jonathan Patrick Moore your acting is bad), it also had the token geek who gets the girl, The blond babe with big breasts who ends up doing porn and finally the token black guy, who turns out to be gay which took me by surprise and was the only part I did not predict in this TV show.
I could go on about how bad the acting is, maybe it's not the actors faults but a badly written show. If they moved it to what I would call a prime time channel in the US like CW or one of the other big networks and throw some money at the show I believe it could be a lot better but needs a lot of work.
I am sure people may disagree with my assessment of the show but this is just my own humble opinion and this type of show should have been my cup of Joe but unfortunately with the bad acting, poor story line and overall cheap and tacky rip off feel from Entourage it is unlikely I would watch a season 2 in its current state.
