Kyle XY is a science-fiction drama that premiered on the ABC Family network in 2006. The show follows the story of Kyle, a mysterious teenage boy without a belly button or any memories of his past. The series is created by Eric Bress and J. Mackye Gruber, who also wrote and directed the 2004 film The Butterfly Effect.

The titular character Kyle is played by Matt Dallas, who brings a charming and innocent quality to the character. Kyle is discovered naked and wandering in the forest by the Trager family, who take him in and become his adoptive family. The Tragers include father Stephen (Bruce Thomas), mother Nicole (Marguerite MacIntyre), and their children Lori (April Matson) and Josh (Jean-Luc Bilodeau). While adjusting to his new life, Kyle quickly displays extraordinary abilities, including heightened senses and intelligence.

As Kyle tries to uncover the mystery of his past, he strikes up a relationship with classmate Amanda (Kirsten Prout). However, Kyle's abilities and his past catch up to him when he becomes the target of a secret organization known as Latnok. The organization is headed by Professor William Kern (Nicholas Lea), who claims to have created Kyle in a laboratory as part of an experiment in genetic engineering.

The show explores the themes of identity, family, and the dangers of unchecked scientific experimentation. As Kyle learns more about his abilities and his creation, he must also navigate the challenges of adolescence and fitting in with his peers. The Trager family, particularly Nicole, become integral in helping Kyle understand what it means to be human and the importance of connection and empathy.

The cast of Kyle XY is well-rounded and includes many talented actors. Jaimie Alexander plays Jessi, another genetically-engineered teenager who becomes a central character in later seasons. Chris Olivero also stars as Declan, Amanda's ex-boyfriend and Kyle's rival for her affections. Other notable guest stars include Ally Sheedy, Cory Monteith, and Taylor Kitsch.

The show's visual style captures the Pacific Northwest setting with its dark and moody tone. The cinematography and lighting are particularly noteworthy, particularly during the scenes in the woods and the Trager home. The use of slow-motion and intense sound effects during Kyle's displays of his abilities adds to the tension and excitement of the show.

Overall, Kyle XY is a well-crafted and enjoyable science-fiction drama that explores complex themes with heart and humor. Its talented cast and creative team make it an engaging and thrilling watch, perfect for those who enjoy a good mystery or coming-of-age story.

Kyle XY is a series that is currently running and has 3 seasons (43 episodes). The series first aired on June 26, 2006.
