MTV: Online Dating Gone Bad


Tonight on MTV you can experience the dark side (or another dark side) of our cyber-connected world.  The new show Eye Candy is a change in pace for MTV, known for lighter young series such as Awkward, Faking It, and Happyland.  And while we have seen blood in MTV's Teen Wolf, here the monsters are all humans.  

Here is what you can expect per MTV:

Eye Candy centers in tech genius Lindy, who is persuaded by her roommate to begin online dating and begins to suspect that one of her mysterious suitors might be a deadly cyber stalker.  When her friends at the elusive cyber-police uncover a potential serial killer on Manhattan, all signs point to one of Lindy's dates.  Teaming up with this band of hackers, Lindy works to solve the murders while unleashing her own style of justice on the streets of New York City.

It is not clear if this is Catfish, Batman, or Kick-Ass, but it is certainly a new turn for MTV and I am interesting in seeing how it plays out.
