A Newer Version of Cat and Mouse Game: Eye Candy "K3U" Series Premiere

Think of it as a cat and mouse game but in this case both are playing each other. That's what the new MTV series Eye Candy, based on the novel by R.L.Stine.
When a young computer hacker, Lindy (played by Victoria Justice) is off probation of her computer  hacking. She celebrates with her friends and soon gets signed up to an online dating service, given the nickname Eye Candy.
After talking to over a bunch of guys some ranging from good to no way, she leaves and soon receives a text message from one of them. Unknown to her who he is, he starts playing with her by hacking onto her computer and stalking her, sending her messages that are just the creeps.
Lindy goes and searches for the guy that it could be one of those guys she's has met. As she met with them, hacking on their.phones, her plan backfired when the last one leaves and accidentally switched phones with her. By the time she gets to him, he's dead on the park benched, with her phone in his mouth and.soon a text appears telling her that he thought they were exclusive.

By telling her ex-boyfriend and cop, Ben, and another cop, Tom, Lindy shows them that three people who've been on the online dating service has disappeared.
After spending sometime with Ben, Lindy was back at work the next night and soon gets a message on her computer and a four camera videos of her place seeing her best friend and.the stalker. When she told Ben, they both rush to the house but only Ben got there first and got knocked out.
When Lindy gets there she sees a dummy body with a computer and a video of Ben. The stalker wants her to say what she feels and that is that she loves him. That's when she later found him up the roof of her apartment dead.
This stalker is playing such mind games with Lindy. A bit of Hannibal Lecter-like serial killer who has an issue with people lying about how perfect they are.
Lindy seems to be tough character and has a will to do anything to stop. We meet her in the beginning with her sister, who was kidnapped on her own watched, about three years early before everything happen.
This is a totally new side of Victoria Justice's acting. This separates her from her Victorious character of a funny, singer into a young adult sexy and tough side.
As I said this series seems to be a cat playing with a mouse but also the other way around as the mouse catching the cat. We'll see what the series will bring and learn more about Lindy and.her missing sister, plus these murders that appear left and right.
I'm looking forward to this series, seems to be one of best new series of the new year, so far.
You can catch Eye Candy Monday nights at 10/9c on MTV.
