Dr. John Ellison is a disillusioned physician who is dealing with his emotions in the aftermath of his daughter's death. His situation changes, however, when he saves a boy's life by intervening in a drive-by shooting. That experience turns him into an unexpected hero and -- when he learns the boy is still targeted to die -- leads him on a mission to keep the lad alive at any cost. Also dragged into the case are John's wife, Samantha, who tries to support him while dealing with her own issues, and his by-the-book co-worker, Bridget, who must deal with the repercussions of his actions. Although trying to save a child's life seems like the moral thing to do, John at times must compromise his principles and do what seems like the wrong thing to succeed in his mission.

Stacey May Fowles Globe and Mail 07/06/2015
Complications makes for entertaining if ridiculous television - a fast-paced hospital thriller with a solid narrative, shoving cliffhanger after cliffhanger at us until, whether we like it or not, we're gagging for more. Go to Full Review Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times 06/22/2015
If you're going to make a show that looks like Oz met Grey's Anatomy and decided to visit Mr. White for a little meth, letting the audience laugh with you, as opposed to at you, is probably a good idea. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com 06/17/2015
Complications gets more interesting episode by episode, strengthened by good supporting performances and intriguing moral questions, even if creator Matt Nix sometimes struggles to shape his individual pieces into a cohesive whole. Go to Full Review Elise Abram Cultured Vultures 10/03/2019
Jason O'Mara is amazing as Ellison, and while the story is gripping and kept me entertained for the whole of the two and a half hours of the premiere, there was a point where I thought of The Mob Doctor. Go to Full Review Tim Surette TV.com 06/22/2015
Complications was an admirable disaster in its first two hours. It had ambition to be more than another marginal USA Network show, but the final product yielded a directionless and convoluted drama about being right... to the extreme! Go to Full Review Tom Conroy Media Life 06/19/2015
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

See more 07/28/2015 A little hard to believe, but who cares, it's good television. Show keeps getting better. Dr, wife, & nurse keep me watching each week. Hope it gets picked up for season 2. (Too bad it's not on HBO, Showtime) See more brent t 07/24/2015 In a summer devoid anything to watch on TV, Complications is watchable. Miss other, better USA shows. But this RT thing is very confusing. Mr. Robot completely sucks as a show in almost any way that it could -- gets 97% ratings over this show which is, especially comparatively, so much better.
