This article is based on a single script he's failed to get green lit. For all we know it actually is too complex.

The quality and complexity of shows varies greatly between the various networks and services.

Most of us can think of at least one current show that has both quality and complexity.

I just came up with 9 expansive and complex shows off the top of my head in a period of about 20 seconds. He's definitely making baseless accusations about the industry because he was rejected.
