Eye Candy

"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.

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.

Just for start a new year, Eye Candy gives us an incredible action, drama, horror and love just in the pilot. Victoria Justice's portrays Lindy, a hacker who is involved to solve her sister kidnap. Although she's going to face some evil threat by the way. MTV has choose right. Since mid-2014 when the show was picked up, fans showed really great support to the show and for Justice who has a huge fan base and that's really helped up. This one-hour pilot take us to understand the begging of the facts and what is going for us in the future. With all technology on the screen, with some App uses and music hints. It all reminded me 'Watch Dogs' and that's a great point for MTV who is going to innovate with this brand new crime drama show Eye Candy is a good shot and has a good plot. I'm really going to catch all episodes. I think this is the best MTV Drama we've all seen.

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

The actors : esp Justice, Deidrick, and Lissing are really quite good. I thought originally that they were flat. But realize now that the writing is flat, not the actors.

The storyline itself has potential to be great. But, guess in the mode to worry about length and commercial placement, the story loses out.

Still watched it all before the network canceled and replaced it just as it was getting a lot better.

What a waste.
