[3/10 · 22 January 2008]

TV shows these days are starting to get kind of dull. i know of no other good show (my opinion) other than 'Lost', 'Law and Order', and maybe a Nickelodeon Show or two. When i heard about Kyle XY, there was all this hype about it all over the ABCFamily website, so i thought, "Whatever, I'll see". I watched the first episode. Interesting, some suspense and drama, and some questions that wouldn't be answered very soon. The next few episodes i admired. Not only were they about the mystery of Kyle's true identity, but how he's adapting to this "new" environment, as a teenager, and dealing with...well...you know...teenage stuff. Then came the final episode where he met his "true parents". I missed an episode or two before it, so i didn't understand all that was going on, so i saw the recap. No real hints there either. I watched the final episode, and by the end, i was seriously confused. I thought it would've ended with Kyle going back to live with his parents, and pick up on his life from there, but then there's this twist which made very little sense. I eventually saw the two episodes i missed, but they provided little information. When the show came back some time ago, it no longer revolved around Kyle trying to deal with life. Instead, now he's part of some sort of weird experiment and there's also a girl who's like him, and i just got lost from there. Also, the acting got much, MUCH WORSE. In the first season, the acting wasn't great, but it was still believable. Matt Dallas' acting as the title character was the best in my opinion, acting like this confused boy who didn't know what to do, what to say, or where to go at anytime. But now, his acting is as inviting as finding out your girlfriend is a man. This show is also getting a huge fan-base by ABCFamily trolls, who keep advertising and boasting this show as the "most suspesnseful drama/sci fi ever". The there's the whole thing about Kyle beign what he is. Another way ABCFamily tried to advertise this show is the fact that Kyle doesn't have a belly button. OOOOOH! SCARY!!! I wondered why this show managed to go down the drain so quickly, but then i remembered it's ABCFamily, a station that produces the worst and most overrated TV Shows and Movies ever. 3/10
