Eye Candy

The show is pretty basic,The main character tries online dating and then gets the attention of a killer. The killer starts stalking the main character while going on a killing spree. The acting is average all around. Stupid plot twists like a character getting kidnapped in front of a drive through full of cars. Uninteresting characters and none of the actors having any presence on screen. I can't see this show having a second season with such a simple story. It could improve as a show but this first episode is nothing more then average. Guess we will wait and see if the series improves though I seriously doubt it. Not great 6/10

Absolutely adored this! Such a great show, and I loved how they built the storyline and characters up so it could literally have been anyone of them who was the killer. Had me hooked from the first episode!

I watched this initially because Victoria Justice ( Who Plays Lindy) was in this, growing up watching teen shows she had been in, it was great to see her in something more mature and serious. And all in all she played the part really well.

Great Soundtrack in this show too, very disappointed MTV wont be renewing for a new season though, especially with the cliff hanger end. Thats the only fault I had with this show, the ending could have lead to another season and essentially a completely different story. Surprised they didn't do that if i am honest.

Lindy Sampson (Victoria Justice) is a young New York hacker who is haunted by her sister Sara's abduction. Her roommate Sophia gets her to go online dating on Flirtual as Eye Candy. Soon, she's stalked by a possible serial killer. She is on parole and helped by coworker George Reyes. She is recruited into NYPD Cyber Crimes Unit to hunt down this killer, solve other crimes and find her sister.

Victoria Justice is a compelling actress but she's alone in a second rate computer hacker police drama. Most of the guys are model-hot but relatively shallow shells. They are the real eye candy. They are sugar for the eyes and empty calories for the brain. The friends characters have a few more interesting possibilities but never really fully realized. I like the mystery of her sister but that gets muddled and confused. I like less with the serial killer and how that story developed. The procedural part is a mix bag. I would laugh at this show except I've seen CSI Cyber. Doing a hacker centric TV show is not an easy thing without going ridiculous and cheesy. However the big party thrown by the media mogul in episode 5 is really silly.

I don't know if the show will have a very thick plot or very thin, i think it has potential but there is something missing maybe the way the characters are interpreted, the way they look or rather the chemistry between the characters is lacking. The costume designer could possibly make huge improvements on certain things like they way the cops look, they just look way too casual and incredibly surreal. Also the music is slightly distracting at times probably because it's a couple of DB higher than it should be, making the dialogue sound way to clean and clear to notice that's not real.

But all in all i think the idea is great and the shots,editing and especially the compositing keep the show appealing and fluent. I really hope the script will not falter as more episodes are released. The hook in the pilot was astoundingly good.

Great show if you're into crime/hacking thrillers

"Eye Candy" offers a thrilling ride through the world of cybercrime and online dangers, anchored by a strong performance from Victoria Justice as Lindy, a hacker determined to track down a serial killer targeting people through a dating app. The show combines suspense, mystery, and modern-day fears of technology to create a tense atmosphere that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

The series excels in its portrayal of the dark side of the internet, with plot twists that maintain a steady level of suspense. The supporting cast is solid, and the show does a commendable job of balancing the thriller aspects with Lindy's personal journey, making her a relatable and engaging protagonist.

However, despite its strong start and intriguing premise, "Eye Candy" was cut short after just one season, leaving many plot threads unresolved and fans craving more. The lack of a proper conclusion may frustrate viewers who are drawn into its world, but it still remains a worthwhile watch for those who enjoy fast-paced, tech-based thrillers.
