Eye Candy

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.

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

I was hooked from the very beginning and am deeply saddened that the show didn't continue! Just as I was bragging to my colleagues and family about this awesome show I found and couldn't wait to get home to watch, it ended. I thought this show would kick off and go as far as Pretty Little Liars did, including the largely supportive fan base.

I thought it was a good concept for a crime drama - serial killer meets stalker who hunts on a social media dating platform. Not too bad at all. They don't spare the gruesome crime scenes.

BUT the scenarios of having a member of the public (Victoria Justice) go bust down doors with the cops, work on a case, talk with suspects, etc. That really irritates me - that the show couldn't follow the protocols of the law, to make it as real as possible. She even calls the shots and makes the decisions in the dept.

Too ridiculous and far fetched for reality. If they only managed to find an angle for a story to tie all that in, and at least follow all the protocol and procedure of law enforcement, i would easily double my rating of this series.

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
