John Ellis, a cynical ER doctor, who changes his perspective on life after rescuing a boy from a drive-by shooting. When he learns the boy is still marked for death he finds himself compelled to save him at any cost and discovers that his life and his outlook on medicine may never be the same.
After years of successful, high-quality dramas with a light, breezy touch, the network has decided to cast its lot with the more somber and complex dramas popularized by rivals like AMC.
USA is clearly going after Breaking Bad territory -- regular dad goes rogue when caught in the fell clutch of circumstances. And it actually does a creditable job within the genre.
I'm not sure these characters are interesting or detailed enough to fill the gaps left by the absence of the cases-of-the-week, but at least Complications is aiming for something ambitiously driven by character and a serial arc.
Problematic in its depiction of dark-skinned bad guys, the 10-episode season... conjures its share of tension, but feels increasingly strained, until it's finally clear the patient can't be saved.
The only way a series like Complications can continue is if the complications keep getting more complicated. Since they're already approaching silliness, the show's condition is probably terminal.
Watching Matt Nix's new USA series, Complications, is like taking an advanced seminar in unintended consequences. A fun, thrilling, twisty, and at times mind-blowing seminar.
