#26 Eye Candy - K3U


I honestly thought Eye Candy was a new show, I mean it's "new" in terms of complete television history, but it's a show I only heard about in the last month or saw and had no idea it began airing in early 2015 and only made it to March (with 10 episodes) so yes not really new liked I believed.

 So alas, I'm behind yet again when it comes to a TV show just like I was with Community, and still am with Game Of Thrones (hopefully that changes the middle of the month when I get a chance to catch up) and I have to say with Eye Candy's pilot episode K3U that while I wasn't blown away, I was intrigued - I assume it's mean't to be a whodunnit and perhaps the killer was already introduced in the first episode but for all I know suspect might get built upon suspect episode after episode and I'm hoping we do actually find out who the killer is for that matter because I don't know if the rug was pulled out from it.

I talked about Victoria Justice, the shows star when I wrote up about Victorious, saying she is absolutely gorgeous, that is an undeniable fact, and even with films I've seen of hers it seems like she as struggled to find a decent enough project for me (either comerically or critically).

Eye Candy starts with Justice picking up her younger sister from a bunch of roughens and while stopping for petrol her sister gets out the car and is abducted in the slowest abduction in the history of mankind (seriously I don't think a film or television series as had one go on so long), cut to now-ish and she is helping other people with missing family because she's a brilliant hacker but not so briliant that she got caught and is tagged (which is about to be taken off).

At a trendy night club her friends put hers on a dating app under the name Eye Candy and it turns out somebody is both watching her and even kills one of the men that is interested in her.

Overall like i said it's not a perfect episode but there was something there to get your teeth into, I've seen worse shows last longer.
