I stumbled upon this show almost by accident after my Friday night plans got delayed. Not bad. The show is a sci-fi/mystery mix about a teenage boy named Kyle who is found in the woods and appears to have no memory of his past. Although he appears to be a normal if oddly direct and literal boy, during the course of the show Kyle begins to manifest unusual abilities. The ability to jump off buildings without being injured, for example. Or the ability to learn to swim like a fish after one lesson. The list goes on and on; typically one or two new clues seem to be presented with every show. Besides the mystery of Kyle's past, the show also follows the lives of the family that has taken Kyle in, often using Kyle's innocent eyes as a neutral observer of their lives and personalities.
Part of the fun of the show is guessing the true nature of Kyle and his past from the clues that are parceled out in every show. Current theories tend to fall in three categories; Kyle is a robot, Kyle is some kind of genetically engineered super-human, or Kyle is some sort of alien. Since I can't help myself, I'll make my prediction here that Kyle is a human/machine hybrid. Biological on the outside but mechanical in the ol' noggin.
One final note. The show is billed as family entertainment but it is one of those nasty shows that admits that kids are occasionally having pre-marital sex. If you plan on watching it with your kids, or letting them watch it, be aware that Kyle's hometown is more O.C. than Mayberry.
