I never watch the CW. Even when there's a show I find interesting ("Nikita," "The Vampire Diaries"), my remote just won't go there.

But maybe I'll try a little harder to get there for "The L.A. Complex" (9 tonight, the CW). It's a show that could only exist on the CW -- it's about young good-looking people living in a grungy Los Angeles apartment building -- but it has moments that set it apart, lending an unexpected poignancy.
