N**A
Kyle XY : Declassified (The Complete First Season)
This show Kyle XY has brought so much to ABC Family for it's full 10 episode run of the summer had many viewers asking question's "Who is KYLE XY?" A boy new to the world fully grown, walking the forest naked, with memory loss and no belly button. Kyle XY (Matt Dallas) plays a good feature role in this new season every episode ending with a cliff hanger capturing the audiences eye, and kept on asking questions about Kyle XY.The Pilot episode contained alot of information and then again asked alot of question. A smart young man now seeing the world through the eyes of a new born child, not intimidated by others who oppose a threat to him like the snake in the woods and the bully trying to start some stuff with Kyle. Nicole Trager (Marguerite MacIntyre)a mom a councilor who takes Kyle in and meets the family Stephen Trager (Bruce Thomas) Josh Trager (Jean-Luc Bilodeau) and Lori Trager(April Matson) who takes Kyle into their home. My favorite part of this episode is when Kyle follows Lori to a party and saves Lori from a cop who is about to arrest her and shows some of the skills Kyle posseses. I don't want to ruin the show for you but would rather give you a teaser to let the audience know what this show is all about.The second episode is Sleepless in Seatle. Kyle is having trouble sleeping but begs to ask the question "Why do people sleep when there is so much knowledge to learn". Yet Kyle wanders the street and there is a man who is nameless but knows Kyle's past.......My favorite part is when he pieces together a puzzle in less then 5 minutes (you gotta watch it).The Third episode is The lies that bind. Kyle is confused about telling the truth and telling a lie. Knowing that the truth can hurt yet he is torn between betrayal of the spouces and the parents. My favorite part of the episode is when Stephen Trager takes Kyle to his job while the computers are down as the temp tries to contact a tech. Kyle comes to the rescue.The Fourth episode is Diving In. Kyle has a crush on Amanda Bloom (Kirsten Prout) and Amanda teaches Kyle how to swim but something happens in this episode that was I believe rated. This episode is about Kyle's first love and first heartbreak. My favorite part in this episode was when Amanda taught Kyle how to swim and Kyle no less than 20 minutes took off like a dolphin.This Fifth episode is This is not a Test. Kyle goes to school for the first time. Spend weeks with the Tragers Kyle is in a new world and is accused of not coorperating with the system of taking an exam. He learns by reading the entire encyclopedia with the help of his loner friend Deichman (Cascy Beddow). My favorite part of this episode is when Josh Trager got into a fight with a bully and Kyle caught one of his punches after being thrown down a flight of stairs.........and after school after acing the test Kyle wanted to thank Deichman for his help and managed to make a friend in the class nerd.the Sixth episode is Blame it on the Rain. Kyle gets smarter in ever episode. It is Lori's birthday and it manages to rain and Lori's Boyfriend Declan (Chris Olivero) crashes the party after Amanda introduced her boyfriend to Kyle he has been hurt but still managed to make a friend in her. Kyle learns more about images so clear in his mind that he draws the perfect image to life and then that is where the memories start comming back to the surface.The Seventh episode is Kyle got Game. Kyle joins the high school basketball tean which Stephen Trager supports Kyle 100 percent which drives a wedge between his own son. Then Kyle gets real close to his new found friend Declan.The Eigh Episode is Memory Serves. Kyle decides to travel to a college where he sees himself 20 years ago and tries to find answers only then is confronted by the mysterious man Thomas Foss (Nicholas Lea) who fights Kyle not to continue further or something bad will happen..........The Ninth Episode is Overheard. Kyle has the ability to read lips and over hear through walls but this ability comes with a heavy consequence. Kyle and Declan work together to piece together memories that were lost and then later Kyle is confronted by his real parents.The Tenth Episode is Endgame. Stephen, Lori, Josh and Nicole Trager are heartbroken over the fact that Kyle is going home to his real parents alot of questions are answered in the episode and many questions remain. My favorite part is when Nicole Trager is forced to let out her emotions after being strong for her family after the departer of Kyle.....is he going home to his real parents or is danger still lurking around the corner.The second season of Kyle XY season premires on June 11, 2007 but for those who do not know "WHO KYLE XY IS?" here is your chance to find out and I promise you the price here on amazon is real cheap unlike the ones in the retail stores. Kyle XY is a real clever show brought to you by ABC Family and this show will bring you into the world of KYLE XY.

A Family Adventure
Kyle XY is the undeniably first family show I have ever seen that didn't get in your face with its "I am a family show so get your kids to watch me with you" attitude.That's because it's not just about the family.Kyle XY is centered around a teenager who wakes up in a forest not knowing who he is. The similarities to John Doe seem rampant at this point, but it's only the beginning of the pilot episode and the similarities begin to diverge from there. He cannot talk and doesn't know anything about "acceptable" social behavior. (If you've seen John Doe you know that he discovers in the first episode that he can speak just about any language and knows perfectly well how to behave with other people.)Of course, Kyle ends up in a juvenile detention center of some kind and a child psychologist is called in. Mrs. Trager immediately feels that Kyle requires full-time attention and gets permission to bring him into her home in a fostering situation.Kyle thrives in this environment - despite the two teenage children of Mrs. Trager, and the mild objections of Mr. Trager at the wife bringing her work home with her. The kids believe him to be very strange, (not the least of which is his absence of a belly button) which is true, but we can see that Kyle has a basic goodness in him that is very endearing. He begins to communicate within a day or two.Eventually it is discovered that he is quite the genius, so he ends up going to school with Jake and Lori - his foster siblings - and slowly becomes a part of the family.It is also discovered that Kyle has some unique and powerful abilities that no one can explain.There are strangers watching him and subplots galore, which will eventually gel into some explanation and new directions for the characters.The family dramas and resolutions are a big part of this show - despite their official back seat position to the main story which is "why Kyle is different and what that means to him and those who care about him."There are touching scenes and story morals in every episode, married with the show's ability to tackle real issues (such as dealing with cancer in a teenager and how to cultivate and maintain true friendships) and inject some biting humor and acceptably scary moments with some bad guys - or seemingly bad-but-well-meaning-parents or -administrators, etc. These ingredients mesh together to create a show that could appeal to almost anyone.Please check this one out if you have the chance - and even if you don't.

Wonderful show gets a really first rate DVD transfer.
One of the really nice things about this show is the depth of each character and the acting that brings that depth to life. I can't wait for June 11th to come. Unfortunately I know I'll miss some of the later episodes, so I'll have to assume season 2 will appear on DVD, too. This DVD transfer is given in wide-screen - it wasn't shown that way on Family channel. Despite some quibbles from other reviewers, I don't find the slightly prominent sexual situations (shown or talked about in later episodes) to be done in anything other than a tasteful way. Matt Dallas is wonderful as Kyle. But then, he's surrounded by a whole cast of good actors. Jean-Luc's libido seems to be going over time, and Olivero as Declan is really well carved out. The ending definitely points to season two. It was my second viewing (on DVD) that finally made me realize that "Adam" is the guy who visits Kyle in the church.Do I have ANY quibbles myself? Yes. I could have done without the constant introductions and endings of each episode. I would also have liked to see the credits in something other than the teenee scrawl on the left of the screen. For the record, "extended" final episode amounts to about one minute added footage. The original pilot has mostly the same stuff, but with a few alternate scenes of interest. Matt Dallas, who "narrates" the film, too, is not the narrator in the original pilot, and the jarring difference is troublesome. Thenk goodness they changed that. Buy this, watch the second season, and look forward to next year's release of the DVD version.

Muy bien sonido en castellano
Es una cosa muy rara, pero la edición posterior (segunda temporada en castellano), suena muy mal.... como a 128Kbs... Esta edición en castellano suena muy bien. La recomiendo si os gusta la serie.

Dovrebbero continuare a produrre alre stagioni
È una serie meravigliosa, capisco perché non hanno voluto continuare a produrre altri capitoli: ormai le persone non vogliono più sentire parlare di principi, valori, intelligenza emotiva ecc. ecc. Y produttori neanche, puntano solo ai rating.

Liked the DVDs.
The Kyle XY series was to have had five seasons but was cancelled after three seasons. Each season always ended with a cliff hanger. That means the story is incomplete. But the Third SeasonDVD contains a bonus chapter in which the producers explain what they had planned for the fourth and fifth season.
