Excellent series. Speaking of the unspoken. At first I wanted to turn away but it kept me captivated to the point I couldn't stop watching and binged on it til the end. I hope it will return with the outcome of Shawn(kaldrick)'s words spoken.

Has the show been canceled or not? Sheesh! I'm tired of waiting to find out!!! I really enjoy the show, its not as good as it was in season 1 but so what? I enjoy the show, its like Degrassi but not with the annoying stuff. Its Degrassi with more American values, i guess. Anyway, i want to find out what happened with Connor and his sister. Abby and her boo-thing. Pssh i wanna know what happened to Tariq and his new guy. I really don't want to have to find another new 'show' to record to the DVR next year. I mean its on the CW, thats the channel i watch it on, and it presents a different aspect of what to watch on that channel.*12/17/2012 I found out like 2 weeks ago that it wont be returning to the CW... .... for it was canceled :( F*ck!

The only review I agree with was BrettUK's. This show is awful, and this is coming from a person who LOVES the trashy-soap-set-in-LA genre (90210, both versions, are my current favorites). But the L.A. Complex does nothing but bore me. I don't even connect with any of the characters. Alicia, I suppose, is all right, but all the others are a waste of film, IMO. Abby rubs me the wrong way (something about her naive good girl from Toronto-ness is aggravating, especially since she's obviously not THAT good since she hooked up on a roof with some guy she barely knew when she already had a boyfriend back home), as well as the actress who plays her. It feels as if the production company behind Degrassi and the LA Complex are trying to "make" her happen.Nick's social awkwardness is less endearing than it is annoying. Connor is billed as the show's token hottie and he isn't that hot. Tariq and Kaldrick are totally unconvincing as a gay couple to the point where I cringe whenever they appear. Straight actors CAN definitely pull off a gay character and vice versa but those actors are so obviously straight their non-chemistry is painful to watch. And Raquel...ugh. I know her character is SUPPOSED to be a bitch with a soft side but...all I see is a bitch. You're 30. Accept it and move on and stop stepping all over everyone trying to prove you're the next Meryl Streep. I find myself rooting against her. What kind of person pitches a script at a freaking AA convention?! I don't recommend this show. I rarely give scathing reviews even when the show calls for it but The LA Complex deeply disappointed me. A strike against Canadian TV.

Coming late to review as I came late to "The L.A Complex". Last Tuesday night I was channel surfing and hit upon it at 9 p.m. It caught my fancy with its realistic depiction of likable youths wanting to become entertainment successes. Made a point to watch last night and will be there for the "season ending" next week.I've enjoyed the depiction of all the relationships. It's a plus that the central characters have good sexual appeal as well as the ability to portray their situations, good or bad. These are people who've earned your interest in what will become of them in their struggle to become stars.It's a treat to see a genuine show about real people. Talented cast and excellent treatment of Hollywood situations. Hope it continues!
