Last year, USA Network aired the Rush TV series — a dark drama that revolved around a troubled physician. It was cancelled due to low ratings. This year, the cable channel is airing another troubled doctor drama. Will it perform any better? Will it be survive to see a second season? Stay tuned.
Complications follows a disillusioned suburban doctor (Jason O’Mara) who’s still dealing with the emotional effects of his young daughter’s death from cancer. He unexpectedly becomes a vigilante hero when he intervenes in a drive-by shooting, saving a 12-year-old boy’s life. The rest of the cast includes Jessica Szohr, Lauren Stamile, Chris Chalk, Beth Riesgraf, and RonReaco Lee.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
8/29 update: USA has cancelled Complications after one season. Details here.
Final season averages: 0.35 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 1.44 million total viewers.

What do you think? Do you like the Complications TV series? Do you think that it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
This shoe I could not wait to see it again and was hoping to run more series. Very disappointed. Just like I was when burn notice ended. Please keep me up dated it it should run another season under a new. Channel. This really sucks
Insane to cancel. This was the most riveting and suspenseful show on tv. Please bring it back.
Please renew great show
Complication has been one of my favorite series in a long, the ending left me hanging to find out it’s been canceled. I was a fan of rush but that doesn’t compare to how upset I was when complications was canceled. I hope a station will pick it up and keep going because it has potential to be great with a long series. Please renew
i love this show and the actors were great. Please give it another chance and bring it back for second season
I agree, I love that show. It had so much potential, and to cancel after one season is absurd; and I wish they would renew. On the days complications is playing I can’t wait to get off work to watch, even if I have recorded or it not on for a few hours after I get off. I’m just count the hours down. Just like rush in my opinion I don’t believe it was as good; but not worth cancelling as well. I wish They would play a great tv show and cancel it and have one that shouldn’t of… Read more »
Complications is one of the most refreshing shows out there!!! We never missed an episode, if we couldn’t watch it we had dvr’d. The writing was brilliant and kept you coming back every week!!!! BRING IT BACK!!!!!! I don’t understand why a show such as this one would be cancelled!!! The big bosses have a made a HUGE mistake!!!! HUGE!!!!
My whole family LOVED this show. It was a great show, great writing and actors. Of course it gets cancelled after one season. Gotta make room for more crappy reality shows I guess. Ridiculous.
There should have been better advertising like they did with Mr. Robot… Sad to see such a great show get canceled 🙁
It is September and too late to save complications, but I find Jesse Porter’s critique over blown – you can apply the same logic even more accurately to most Prime Time TV -NCIS LA, NCIS without Ziva (a bore and by the formula) to start with and can go on and on including the dumb late night talk shows. Complications was interesting because unlike prime time with the exceptions of How to Get Away With Murder and the blacklist with two stars that can act above the quality of the shows heroes and heroines are cardboard, while complications was morally… Read more »
I LUV’D this show!!! Who is doing these ratings??? Very Suspenseful, couldn’t wait for the next show each week & now it’s canceled. Very Dissapointed! 🙁
Great show
I loved complications !!! It was a great weekly show ! My daughter and I watched it every week . We couldn’t wait to fine out what was going to happen next ! Very suspenseful and we loved the actor who played the dr. He was awesome !!! Very very sad it’s cancelled
my husband and I absolutely enjoyed the movie complications. We look forward every week to the next episode. we told our son how much we enjoyed it and he got caught up in all the episodes also. Very very disappointing that it did not go further. Good acting in good plot.
I could name about 15 other shows that should’ve been canceled after the first episode and still are running. Don’t get it!
I agree my husband and I also enjoyed this show it’s sad that they alway cancel the good ones
Please bring it back!! My family looked forward to watching this show every week. maybe they should have done better advertising the show
Ridiculous,USA is always canceling the best shows.
Benched/Sirens way funnier than Playing House!
If they go by ratings this is a head scratcher.
Complications rated higher than Satisfaction.
Just goes to prove Sex Sells.
Another show that promotes infidelity,great values to teach!!!
I don’t think “Sex” had anything to do with why Complications was cancelled. While it did indeed have its high points, Complications was a deeply flawed and patently ridiculous show. The biggest problem was the writing: The narrative spiraled out of control under the weight of its own–for lack of a better word–complications. Every week, new plot devices were thrown at the wall from every angle in a haphazard attempt to confuse the issue, and instead of creating a tense “house of cards” for O’Mara’s character, it often came off as silly. EG: I actually found myself laughing at the… Read more »
Well. Done!!!!
Yes! My wife and I love the show. Not to crazy about that nurse, but love all of the characters, plot, and flow of the show. Sorry to sex it go!
