My list of TV series which I follow is burgeoning while I am finding it harder to keep up with my schedule.

A recent favourite is the critically acclaimed sci-fi series, Kyle XY.

The more they look for answers, the more questions aris.

Here's a synopsis of the pilot episode from Kylexy.net.

1.01 - Pilot
Original Airdate: Monday June 26, 2006 (USA)

Writer: Eric Bress, J. Mackye Gruber

Director: Gil Junger

KYLE XY is an incredible mystery about a teenager with no past. The series tells the surprising journey of Kyle (Dallas), a 16 year-old teenage savant who is missing instinctive human behavior such as anger, joy and love, and the family who found him. After coming out of the woods and found walking into traffic, Kyle is sent to a youth detention center where he comes into contact with his first experience of eating food and human interaction: not all of it friendly. At the center they realize that Kyle is not like any ordinary teenager, especially once they find that he is missing his belly-button. With questions of Who is this kid? and Where did he come from? psychologist Nicole Trager (MacIntyre) is called in to help get some much needed answers. After a couple of hours with Kyle, Nicole realizes that he can not survive in the institution and needs special attention, so she decides to bring him home to keep a closer eye on him. The rest of the Trager family is not as welcoming of Kyle, seeing him as just another one of Nicoles special projects. Her husband Stephen (Thomas) doesnt want his wife to get too attached to Kyle, while her teenage daughter Lori (Matson) and son Josh (Bilodeau) see him as a freak that can only hamper their social lives.

Soon the family starts to see that Kyle has some unique abilities and an uncanny way of completing two hour IQ tests in 5 minutes with perfect scores. He encounters everyday activities such as video games, drawing and music with a wide-eyed wonder and a thirst for more knowledge. He also starts to grow fond of the Trager family and even rescues Lori from a high school party that gets dangerously out of hand.

His missing bellybutton tell of his mysterious but unique birth.

As he settles in with the Trager family the question still remains, who is Kyle? What are his secrets, secrets that even he doesnt understand? Why doesnt he have a belly button? Why cant he remember anything from his past? Is he suffering from some sort of post-traumatic stress? If not, is he suffering from amnesia? And who is the suspicious looking man following him?

Yes, Kyle sleeps in a tub.

I've completed watching season 1 on my hubstation yesterday - not in one sitting of course! When I was about to begin Season 2, I realised that I was missing episodes 1-13! Apparently, the hardisk space had ran out because I haven't had time to clear my recordings on the recorder. Darn! With the new dog (temporarily named Sprite) in my life and my work schedule still in flux, I guess catching up on my TV recordings would be a challenge.

New to the world, Kyle looks at everything with wonder.

Anyway, if you enjoy watching sci-fi flicks like Heroes or Roswell, you might want to give Kyle XY a click on your remote. For Singapore viewers, you can catch the second season of this series daily on Starhub Cable Channel 18, StarWorld.
