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.

View MoreI don't believe I have ever stopped watching a show because of the fact that there happens to be a character in the show that ills me-the doctor's cohort(the mouthy nurse).Ah man can't you see-she's loud-right all the time-she is sickening I like the show but she is the same in every show-change her character please or give her some-she irks me-gets under your skin and I can't like her if I tried-sorry but ya I guess I have to make this 10 lines so-she is loud righteous unlikable I dig the doc but when he submits to her all the time ,he looses too-it's a lose lose situation and I cant be the only one-broken fingernail down a blackboard that's it that's all
... View MoreI'm an MD so I'm always skeptical about medical dramas. Although some medical adviser is always present nowadays, it's difficult not to notice that these people aren't actual doctors and nurses. It's the deliverance, the "aura"...Anyway this isn't a medical drama per se. It reminds me of another series (now canceled, yet with a satisfactory series finale) The Mob Doctor.This is about a semi-delusional ER doctor who, after a gang-related incident, find himself (and his family) trapped in war that he didn't asked for. Yet this "adrenaline-rush" seems to be doing him some good. Feeling more alive maybe, especially after a loss that he suffered (his daughter died recently from cancer).I don't really find anything bad with Complications. Maybe it feels a little short, but it has time to evolve into something better.Jason O'Mara tries to fit the role but he lacks a broad range of facial expressions, so his acting is a little bit stale.Overall: Will see. I'm giving to it a chance, for now.P.S. +1 for using "medical" terms as titles for each episode.
... View MoreI don't mean that in a completely negative way. If you'd sit me down at a focus group, didn't tell me that this was a Matt Nix project or that it's on USA and just told me to watch the damn show, immediately after the credits roll, I'd say "Well that's a Matt Nix show on USA."Not that it's a bad thing. Matt Nix has an intellectualism about his writing that enables the viewer to get into the world of a professional environment, complete with accurate dialogue that a professional in a given world would use. Complications requires a vast suspension of disbelieve, but I buy it in the context of the show. While it's a bit more grim than Burn Notice, complications does seem to keep a relatively quick pace.Overall, after having viewed the first three episodes I can confidently say that this is not the worst thing on TV.
