      Diane Werts Newsday Hot parties around the pool, intoxicated sex, smashed windshields, morning-after pills - what's not to like? Rated: B+ Apr 24, 2012 Full Review Phil Dyess-Nugent AV Club The L.A. Complex doesn't always ring true, but it's frequently fun. Rated: B+ Apr 24, 2012 Full Review Alan Sepinwall HitFix 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. (Though there's still a good deal of that.)

Apr 24, 2012 Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette For the type of show it sets out to be, this "Complex" is surprisingly, well, complex. Apr 24, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews
