    It's a nice new TV show. It has a different way of showing things behind crimes and that kind of stuff. Very interesting and looking forward to watch new episodes! Victoria Justice is has evolved a lot by the way.

    This is a great show with a lot of potential for growth. Sometimes very dramatized but all in all enjoyable and exciting. Would have done a lot better if it premiered on another network like the CW.

    I love this show and even more I love Victoria justice, if it wasn't for her I would not have watched the show. This show reminds me a little bit of beauty and the beast tv series. It is kind of bland and not so many different places to look forward to seeing in the show, but it still has that mysteriousness about it and Igor the black cop is sexy, well one thing that I can say about theI love this show and even more I love Victoria justice, if it wasn't for her I would not have watched the show.

The acting could be better, but take into consideration this is Victoria Justice's first mature lead role, transitions from mediocre kid acting to mature adult acting is a hard thing to do. There's a reason why the show was recasted while Victoria kept the lead role, I think she's doing a pretty damn good job.… Expand

    Easily one of the best pilots of this season. It's a thriller aimed at a younger audience, a mix of creepy, fun, exciting and intriguing all at the same. Victoria is amazing, and the rest of cast is promising, Great cinematography and music selection. If you like Pretty Little Liars or Teen Wolf, you'll love this one.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Eye Candy is MTV’s attempt to have a much more serious and mature programming. The only “serious and mature” thing about this pilot is the amount of gore that might be a bit too much for MTV’s standards.

    My problem with the pilot of Eye-Candy is that the entire logic in the show is very flawed and that creates plot holes. One of the plot holes is at the start of the pilot. Victoria Justice’s character Lindy and her sister Sara are having fast food though drive-thru take out. In the middle of ordering, Sara went outside the car to go to the toilet. When Lindy was done ordering, she then drives the car to pick up the food only to have cars in a line in front of her, assuming those people are also lining up to pick up their order. By that time, Sara is done with her toilet break. Because the space is too small for her to go back to the car by herself, she decides to wait at the drive through exit for Lindy to pick up the order and then Sara goes back to the car. However, Sara gets kidnapped by a masked man and Lindy tries to get out of the car only to see the the walls between her and the car is too small for the car doors to be opened by her. When she got out and tried to rescue her, it’s already too late as Sara is no longer able to be reached. Sara could have been saved if the drivers of the cars in front of Lindy’s car would try to rescue Sara. But instead, those drivers absolutely did nothing. Nothing at all. The drivers seemed to be a)dicks or b)the writer of the pilot forgot that they existed.

    Another problem that I have with Eye Candy is how this show is very dumbed down for MTV’s demographic. For instance, the romance in this show became old really fast and it’s very cheesy and campy to the point I facepalmed during the sex scene. Any other TV show from The CW has a better romance than this.

    I really like Victoria Justice and I think she can play a very mature role. But the characters in this pilot are so bland and cliched to watch. And the worst part of it is that they’re not even likable.

    As I said, Victoria Justice can play a very mature role. But for the rest of the actors, their acting is not that good. I particularly dislike the acting of the actor who played Ben.

    The good part of this pilot is how it sets up a mind war game between Lindy and the mysterious serial killer. I can see vengeance in Lindy’s eyes and that makes her interesting. But I am not sure if this good part is enough for me to keep watching the show. Maybe not.

    This show would surely delight many MTV viewers. If you love Victoria Justice, you might like this show. But if you’re looking for a serious thriller, Eye Candy is not that show.    … Expand

    The music is very annoying, carousel type, the story line is going nowhere and too predictable, some of the acting are terrible. Personally this tv series is like a sleeping pill.

    A show that seems like it's going nowhere fast. The plot reminds me a lot of PLL were the main antagonist will always be one step a head of the protagonist and the audience. This can be fun for awhile, but gets old fast and makes the main character look less intelligent dragging the show down. I might give it a few more episodes, but not holding out hope it will get any better.

    The prologue is well-handled, suspenseful and alarming, but much of what follows seems at least a little bit silly or confused.

    Eye Candy is fractured and campy, with mind-numbing dialogue and a total lack of plausibility.
