I just heard about this show and while I know it's one season with an unresolved mystery, I'd still like to watch it. Does anyone know where I can stream it? Preferably with a subscription and not pay - per - episode.

Okay guys, i'm sure we are all super excited about the wrapping up of S1 of Eye Candy! As you all know, midway through S1 i took over hosting the discussions and as of recently have taken my place as a moderator of the sub. Other than my promotion, i have not heard from Bongo and am not sure where he stands as far as running the sub goes. Bongo i'm sure is busy, and perhaps has just not been able to find the time to manage, and so i am happy to see he has trusted me with the modship.

Anyways, i would just like to say how much i have loved hearing from you guys on this sub all season. It's been awesome getting to run the discussions and hear all the reactions from a wonderful fan base of Eye Candy/Victoria Justice fans. And you better believe that should Eye Candy get renewed, i will be right here hosting once again! I'm not sure where to go with the sub as the season has ended, if anywhere. The down time is something all television-based subs struggle with.

One of the best and worst things about /r/EyecandyTV is the small size. One of the things i would most like to see, however accomplished, is the growth in the size and contribution to our sub. There is thousands of people watching Eye Candy, and though i'm sure many aren't Redditors, i'm sure many are. There is likely many Eye Candy watching Redditors who have not been made awares of the sub. I am also sure there is a crowd to be drawn in that do not currently use Reddit, so they may join in our community here.

With all these things being said, i would love to hear suggestions from the members on how i could improve the sub and general quality for you guys. I know a live thread and post-episode thread is something i would love to do, but sadly i often don't have the time to do a live thread, nor do i think we have enough people at the time to make it worth it. There was some interesting posting on the renewal discussion, so maybe other types of discussion posts are something you guys would like to see?

I would like to try not to go TOO power crazy, as this is all in all Bongo's sub. I don't want to overstep him and he does have final say, but so far, i haven't done anything he has felt the need to object to. This is my first modship, so a lot of things people will likely want done are things i will have to learn how to actually do. I have not only no Reddit mod experience, but no forum modding experience at all unfortunately. That said, i am of course doing my best. Thank you all, i look forward to hearing from you!

TL;DR - Look at me, i am the captain now. Post sub suggestions below. Award winning Academy Award speech given.

Big showdown tonight! Let's see what the crowd has to say! Sorry for the tardiness on getting these posts up, spring break has me up at work late!

Okay, so Eye Candy is coming to a close quite soon. A lot of people, including myself, found the show to fall short of expectation and generally be a bit lackluster. Do you guys think it will get renewed for another season? Personally, if it gets picked up for another season my only hope is that it isn't on MTV. I feel like MTV was a huge part of why this show fell short. Generally, models in every role except the stereotypical nerdy guy was a bit much, even for a show called Eye Candy. It feels like the ads run longer and are more obnoxious (even though i TiVo the show). Anyways, i would like to hear what you guys have to say about it.

Oh man, this is gonna be a good one!

Hosting once again this week, let's hear what the crowd has to say!

Hosting on behalf of Bongo who seems to be an episode behind. Discuss.

Discuss.

The only thing is, if the 'stalker' actually turns out to be Tommy I will flip my shit. The supposed clues are just way too obvious. Also I really don't like the introduction/notion that the psychic is actually pretty psychic i.e knowing the girl should 'stay away from water' and that Lindys sister is alive just from looking at a picture. Other than that, I can pretty much ignore the rest of the 'flaws' in the show because I really find the show interesting and watchable!

Discuss

Discuss episode 4

...except everyone is a smoking hot 20 year old.

But seriously, if you're willing to suspend some disbelief the show is actually pretty good. And despite being on MTV the murder scenes are pretty freaking gruesome. Wish more people would give it a chance instead of just writing it off just because it's on MTV.

Episode Synopsis: Sophia throws a party. Meanwhile, Jake develops a crush on Lindy.

I was going through these in my mind, and wanted to commit them to text. I wanted to like this show, but after watching the first episode, there just seems to be so much that went wrong, that might have went right.

Kidnapping scene:

Victoria Justice repeatedly slamming the door on both sides of her car into a wall. Did she not notice she was in a narrow corridor? A shot of the car where it was, and then VJ wiggling out of the window is all the audience needs to see to know that she was trapped in the car, and had to scramble out of it. Instead, she is retardedly slamming her door into the wall while her sister gets kidnapped.

Speaking of which, what was her plan? Crawl over the tops of cars, fight the kidnappers? Not a great plan, especially when the alternative is something like, ram the car ahead of you, push it out of the way and go around it, crash into the van to stop it from rolling away, or follow it and try to provoke a police chase.

How this scene should have gone:

Kidnapper grabs lil sis. VJ frantically wiggling out of window. Guy in the car in front, instead of sitting passively watching the kidnapping, leaps out of his car. BOOM a kidnapper blows him away. VJ either still scrambling to get to her sister (She is so brave and tough, not even gunfire is gonna slow her down!) or VJ takes cover (Blaming herself for not doing enough to save her sister she now takes on the role of helping other kidnapping victims).

"We're just the IT drones in their enormous investment company" scene:

Talk about awkward exposition. I can just imagine the writers trying to work this bit of "characterization" into the script. "I know!" shouts one writer "She could just state that she works IT at a major investment company and uses their servers for her private mission!"

There had to be a better way to get this stuff across. The writing feels lazy here. The lazy writing recurs with the serial killer's monologue - "Hur, dur, I'm a serial killer". Great. I just can't help but contrast that kind of scene with the novel, "Kiss the Girls". In that novel, the serial killer also targets attractive young women, and is a total and complete villain, but he isn't so shallow and simple. He feels like a real villain while this tool feels like someone had a deadline to complete the script.

Anyway, back on topic. There are a couple problems with the "corporate drone" scene. Like, wouldn't a major financial services company have close watch and good security on their hardware?

You have to wonder, what does she need a lot of servers for? How does raw computing power help you locate missing kids? And, if she is using a lot of computer power, wouldn't that be visible to everyone else at the company? Are the only two people in their IT department VJ and Jonny Friendzone?

How this scene should have gone:

Less dialog. The characters don't need to say "We're just IT drones at an investment company" that could be shown. We should be shown this and not told. If I wanted a dry synopsis of facts, I could have just read a description of this story.

We know they work IT cause Jonny Friendzone takes a call and starts troubleshooting someone's computer. Maybe we see VJ using those servers, or scheduling some job on them rather than just have her announce that she needs the servers. Perhaps one of them is working on a computer for an investment banker who is on a call about investment banking while being disrespectful towards the IT staff (showing us that they are just drones).

This scene needs a lot of work. Speaking of...

"Inappropriate bracelet removal" scene:

I've never had a police tracking bracelet removed, but, is that done by one guy in an abandoned house usually? That scene feels incredibly uncomfortable to me - the cop is using his authority to caress the leg of his ex, which is understandable, but the show makes it seem like this is OK behavior. How about VJ standing up for herself at this borderline harassment?

For a show about a hip young hacker, the dialog is pretty fucking stone aged. This scene is a good example. Here is a direct quote from the cop, on hulu this gem is dropped at ~9:25:

"You can hide, behind being a hacker, white knight cyber vigilante"

To which VJ replies:

"You know I don't believe in labels"

Wrong use of the phrase "White Knight" and what the hell does VJ even mean by that stupid line? What could it mean? She says other stupid things, like her breaking the law was a "Matter of perspective" - when all the evidence in the show is that she clearly broke the law. She tops it all off by telling the UC who arrested her that it is his fault she was arrested.

How this scene should have gone:

Major changes are, some lady cop in a busy precinct does the bracelet thing while the ill fated lover-boy watches lasciviously. The conversation should be a lot more hostile, you know, like if your lover had been lying to you, and was secretly a police officer who was out to stop and arrest you, preventing you from rescuing your missing sister.

"When was I ever the kind of girl to use an app to meet guys" scene:

It is clear that her friend knows all about and uses Flirtual, so why is VJ shitting on it like this? This doesn't seem like good natured joking, she is just straight up condescending. Plus, it doesn't make sense that a wealthy, pretty socialite, like Black Friend, is into Flirtual, but VJ can still look down on it.

In their social circle Flirtual wouldn't be looked down on, the cool kids are doing it. Kind of like real life. It makes me feel like the show was written by some desiccated old crone who still thinks people look down on online dating.

This scene should have been removed. The audience doesn't need an explanation of an online dating app, they'd figure it out from watching it on the show if they didn't already understand. VJ surely wouldn't need one as a hip young hacker, and if she did, she'd figure it out from trying it too.

"Follow up cop stalking" scene:

"You know, as part of your parole, you weren't supposed to put your hands near a computer." Uh, wasn't she working as an IT drone at a big company? Isn't that the kind of thing your parole officer is supposed to check? Like, do you work on computers, and have a computer set up in your home?

"Just because Ben still loves you, doesn't mean I won't do my job". But... he also knows she has been hacking into their system, she doesn't deny it, and he doesn't do anything about it. So... he isn't doing his job. Why would he say this?

I'm only about halfway in, still a lot more to go. But my desire to describe the flaws in this show has been fulfilled, for now.

Minor details:

The "username" entry in the username field when VJ is hacking into the police department's computer is obfuscated the same way as the password field is. A show about a hacker, should be aware of the basics of computer usage.

"I'm living my life, and a man doesn't define it" - immediately goes along with the dating plan.

Episode Synopsis: Lindy goes on dates with two of the suspects for the serial killer.

Her friends start an online dating website profile for her under the user Eye Candy, after an event for the website Lindy gets a series of texts ending in a threat against her life.
