USA cancels 'Complications' (shot in Atlanta) after one season

Deadline.com said the network considered it a very close call. Because it was not owned by USA but was a Fox 21 Studios show, the network deemed it wasn't financially feasible despite passable ratings. (Overnight ratings averaged about 1.4 million viewers, which increased to 2.3 million with seven  days of DVR usage.)

The show, created by "Burn Notice" originator Matt Nix,  starred snake-bitten Jason O'Mara, whose previous short-lived TV series efforts include Fox's "Terra Nova," ABC's "Life on Mars" and CBS's "Vegas." O'Mara played an ER doctor on what on the surface appeared to be a medical drama but ended up having elements of "24" and "The Wire" as he got intertwined with a gang war.

“The idea of doing multiple seasons is so alien to me,” O'Mara told me in the spring. “I don’t even know what that would feel like!”

USA has aired two other dramas out of Atlanta: three seasons of "Necessary Roughness" (2011-2013) and two seasons (so far) of "Satisfaction."

The other freshman drama USA introduced this summer "Mr. Robot" received much more attention and skewed much younger in terms of audience. It was renewed very quickly.
