I was expecting a totally PG series, considering that Victoria Justice is involved. However, this is a completely different role for her. Justice has shed her good-girl image in this new series and in all honestly it's pretty impressive. With a collection of bad-ass digs and dark lipstick, Justice takes on a darker role than her previous ones.

Sure, the show doesn't have much of a star-studded cast and doesn't showcase any incredible acting, but then again one of MTV's most popular shows "Awkward." started off the same way.

In my opinion, I would give this show a chance. It may seem like the typical cliché teen drama that Hollywood seems to dish out so often nowadays, but there's something else that has yet to be seen. I believe there's potential in this series; there's definitely somewhat of a uniqueness since it revolves so much around modern technology and pop culture. Plus, the show has so many interesting story lines within one episode and there are so many plot twists that will leave you sitting on the edge of your couch.. literally.

So I don't know about anyone else, but I will be sticking with the show and seeing where it goes from here.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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 first said it on my pilot review Eye Candy has great potential, the premise and prologue were really good but the show kind of sucked. The pilot was one of the worst I've seen this year. The mediocre writing, and acting was painful to watch but I persevered because there was room for improvement. By episode 2 my hope stayed intact even though the show suffered the same problems. The amateur writing and the cheesy teenage aspect of 20 something characters -_- ", but the show got a little more interesting. That's when the mystery really kicked in and they introduced a possible suspect - the one taking pictures in the precinct. It peaked my interest...let's not exaggerate, it got me interested because I never suspected him. It never really changed my idea of who the killer was and turns out I was right.

Regardless, Eye Candy slowly but surely improved, but just a little bit. They tried to get us wondering who the killer is and as far as I'm concerned, it didn't work. They gave too many characters suspicious scenes or comments in the hopes of throw us off the trailer but it was so poorly done that it was a bit annoying. The show is kind of a guilty pleasure show. It's kind of bad but has enough mystery and drama to keep you coming back. It's a good pallet cleanser show before watching a really good show.

On a side note, the amateur writing gives me hope though, because if these writers can write for a TV Show so can I. @wornoutspines

New York is noted for a number of things. There are programs related to fashion. We have a whole lot of shows where dating and looking for love is part of the story. And then there are the shows dealing with law enforcement. In a way, this show touches on all three.

"Eye Candy" is (very loosely) based on the novel of the same name by R. L. Stine.

Lindy (Justice) sees her kid sis acting out and hooking up with a guy in the wake of the death of their mother. When they stop for a burger at a drive thru, where Lindy hopes to have a heart-to-heart talk about it, Lindy helplessly watched the sis get tossed into a van and was driven away before she could stop it.

Years later, Lindy, who since dropped out of MIT, worked for a computer firm in New York, and started her own cybersearch cottage industry by helping others find their loved ones, using the tech at her job to aid the search.

Meanwhile her roommate encouraged her to start dating through a popular app. The name of the series is the handle Lindy used on the dating site. But when a serial killer appears to be targeting women through that app. Lindy seeks the stalker while she was still looking for clues about her missing sister.

Helping Lindy are Tommy (Casey Deidrick) an NYPD detective, George (Harvey Guillén), Lindy's coworker at her computer job, her roommate and best friend Sophia (Kiersey Clemons) and Sophia's friend Connor (John Garet Stoker).

The hook to this series is the style, as it was on MTV, so the look of the series does reflect a music video sensibility, the focus on computers, women, the tech and the elements of danger posed in the cyber world pushed this forward. Let's also note this show was made in 2015, so maybe it was slightly ahead of its time... or maybe it was right on time?

The weaving of the stories, from the search for the missing girl, to the examination of the dating app killer, to the help Lindy provides to those that come to her for aid in finding their missing is combined with video style cinematography, effects and quick cuts, fast and slow motion, designed to give viewers that feel of intensity.

New York plays a part because the city is both a hiding place and a meeting place for people and with the geography and the sheer numbers, there's a lot of ground for Lindy to cover, with many people also looking for those they have lost.

The problem, according to some critics at the time, suggested the program placed style over substance when it came to the story. The visual impact of the series was seen as far more important than the plot making sense. Still others say this show took the original Stine novel and expanded it in a much more successful way.

No matter what, having a woman computer expert at the center of a crime drama was a big step in representation and may have helped inspire more women to at least consider a career in programming and/or investigation. For that, "Eye Candy" has earned its place on the list.

I absolutely love this show, having seen the first four episodes I can already tell just how good a series this will be. I was hooked halfway through the pilot episode. I love Victoria Justice (Lindy), she is one of my favorite actresses and I have seen a good 95% of the movies and TV shows she has been in. Eye Candy is thrilling to watch, you don't know what is coming next and it keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen and who is next, who is the killer and who is safe. It's a certain thing to say that for me, I hope Eye Candy is continued and renewed for a 2nd, 3rd and even 4th season. Great job and keep up the great work!

"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.

the show is trying too hard to be hip and sell music at the same time. Every time they play a song the artist name and song comes up on the screen,which to me scream we trying to sell you these artists.

I also thought Hackers were suppose to be smart,yet this girl can't tell that someone had hacked her computer and turned on her web cam. The idea is good,someone using a dating app/page for serial killing.Not very original perhaps but not bad.

The execution is however very bad.

They use too many clichés.

*************Warning spoiler****************Warning spoiler************* That scene was so dumb I almost started laughing. They're in a line at the drive in,and her sister has to go to the bathroom,while the driver moves on to the pickup line.

But when her sister gets back she rather stay outside in the pouring rain waiting for the car to come through,even though there are 4cars ahead of her ride. I might have understood the decision, if they had been arguing but they didn't.

And all of a sudden out of nowhere a van comes along and park across the line of cars,and snatch the waiting girl. Nobody reacts,and all of a sudden the cars in front of our main heroine are apparently turning out to be empty. Which is strange considering its a drive through,and they are at the pickup line.

And there seem to be no people at the drive in either.And her car is parked in such a way that she can't open her doors,which gives the kidnapper more time to get away.

Horrible writing, clichéd situations, endless stereotypes and completely devoid of suspense. Has about as many thrills as a Archie comic. Looks likes they plan to make it into a cheap PG-rated rip-off of Saw. Doesn't even give one any unintended laughs - it's not so bad it's good, it's just really, really bad.

Victoria Justice has never been challenged as an actor in any of her previous tween and teen-friendly outings, so at least watching this answers the question, "Can she act?" Sadly, the answer is no.

The only thing that might save the show is if they make her an undercover bikini model for the rest of the season, and focus 2/3d's to 3/4's of each episode on her appearing in photo shoots. She's a lovely young lady, but even that probably wouldn't save this pedestrian, predictable, emotionally empty, thrill-less thriller.

Eye Candy is both unique and intriguing. I thoroughly enjoyed the pilot episode and I cannot wait to see what happens next. Even though I am a Victoria Justice fan, it does not affect the way I feel about the show. This show is great for a vast range of reasons. The use of a cyber serial killer is a well thought out, original idea and the actors that portrayed the characters execute their roles with absolute perfection. Victoria has matured so much as an actress and I am very glad that she has landed a pivotal role in such a promising new TV series. Ever since her earlier days in Zoey 101 and Victorious, I knew that she would become a fantastic actress and big star.

Overall I give the show 9 out of 10 stars. An excellent start to the new year!
