About this show

The L.A. Complex focuses on a select group of aspiring performers pursuing celluloid and stardom in LA. Moving into an apartment-style motel for displaced dreamers, each dubbed "most likely to succeed", they all face the challenges and opportunities of a lifetime. For every bona fide starlet, there are countless cocktail waitresses. For every true rock star, there are hundreds of buskers on the pier. For every comedian with a hit sitcom, there are dozens of guys cracking jokes while pouring your coffee. In LA your life can change in the blink of an eye. On Monday, you might score some face-time with the big-shot producer. On Tuesday, you might drink the night away, just to cope with the loneliness. On Wednesday, you might sign that multi-million dollar contract. On Thursday, you might try to sleep your way to the top, only to end up in the gutter. But one thing is for sure - on Friday, the rent is due. The six-episode first season of The L.A. Complex is executive produced by Linda Schuyler and Stephen Stohn of Epitome Pictures (Degrassi, Instant Star), showrun and executive produced by Martin Gero (Young People F*cking, Bored to Death).

There's something there for everyone. Romance, greed, lust, business all L.A. style and like no other. Character development is pretty good except for one and I'll let you find that one.. it's a female... Moving on, all the action emanates from the cool digs at the Delux motel renting for a cool $400 a week or thereabouts-that's including nightly party and house band-no one knows where in the hell they came from but it adds a nice touch to the whole experience. Oh yea their music isn't that bad either.. I hope you enjoy it.
