EYE CANDY
January 12, 2015  | By David Bianculli

MTV, 10:00 p.m. ET

 

SERIES PREMIERE: This new 10-episode series comes from author R.L. Stine, who’s come up with a premise, starring Victoria Justice (veteran of Nickelodeon’s Zoey 101 and Victorious) as a young woman who’s a very gifted hacker, that’s part Veronica Mars, part Stalker – with some of the better qualities from the former, and some of the violent excesses and logical lapses of the latter. But for MTV, it’s almost literally a dramatic step forward: Justice’s Lindy, driven to solve the mysteries of both her missing little sister (who was abducted before her eyes three years earlier) and a cyber-dating serial killer, is much more interesting than most MTV characters. Oh, and the Eye Candy title? That’s the dating website handle her friends gave to her when posting her profile on “Flirtual.”
