Well, back to the main topic, "Kyle XY". Although the series is just plain 9 episodes of season 1, it meant a bit special as i interpret it after i had watched it.

For introduction, as normal, the series is about the US government conspiracy to create an advance human being with high level of IQ through cloning. "Kyle" is the name of the main character and "XY" signify the chromosome combination of a male. Kyle was "borned" without a belly button in the jungle and is a teenager around 17yrs old, if i am not mistaken.

As the show evolves, it is actually about Kyle exploring the unknown world to him with curiousity & eagerness, absorbing them like a sponge, trying to understand his feeling as a human (including love), interact with other human and trying to understand their behavior. Sometimes, as we grew up, we had changed until we have forgotten how we used to view things as a child. And Kyle shows the way. It is not about innocent or pure, but is about what you really want in life, which is "happyness".

Kyle was adopted by a social worker doctor, who find Kyle was "different" because of his unique behavior. The doctor thought Kyle has suffers from trauma and trying to cure him by absorbing him into her family of a son, a daugther and a husband.

In one part, when Kyle was first brought into the house, Kyle was amazed seeing many many family photos hanging on the wall of infants with the doctor. He met the son and daughter, then seeing how much the doctor love her children, how happy the doctor and the children are in the photos, he came to a conclusion that as time goes by, they would eventually become infant (not growing old). He came to such conclusion because he himself has not memory of infancy since he was cloned. He yearn for the day he would become a infant and be loved by doctor. At certain point, Kyle then realize that it was the opposite, human do grew up. He felt dissapointed a bit, yet he was a bit lost as he knew nothing about his childhood.

In another scene, in one morning, Kyle was curious why the doctor talk about appointment at ??am; the husband talk about needing to reach certain location at ??am; son and daugther need to attend class at ??am. He totally has no sense of what "time" really meant and why the people around him bounded themselve with the "time" thing, rushing here and there. In fact, he dont even bother to try to understand the "time" rules, and explore the world as he like, with happyness always around him, with a smile always on the face. Remind me of how happy i am when i was a kid. It totally gave me a reminder how happyness should be.

In a few scene as well, Kyle was totally lost when he cant understand the feeling of him felling in love as well as later broken in love with the neighbor's daugther. In one evening, as Kyle sat in the living room, he heard a beautiful piano song (Canon) played from far. He interpret the tone of the song with mathematical equation, yet there are certain part that he cant understand in the song, he felt the sadness in the song, the sadness of the pianist. He walk toward the neighbor house, go into the living room, that is the first time Kyle met his love, yet he suddenly cried because of the sadness in the song, and had scared the girl. He then later found out the sadness is because the girl has lost her father. Later, he still dont quite understand about his love, the only way he express it is through his drawing. Btw, the way he draw is very unique. He capture scenes like a digital camera in his mind, with all the detail of every pixels, and started drawing exactly like a printer, by creating dot dot dot on the paper, using different color combination of crayon, and the output is exactly like the printer. He drew the girl, in one moment he tried to pass the drawing to the girl, but he then suddenly found out that girl has a boyfriend, he withheld, he is sad, yet still not able to understand why he felt such way...

These are just some of the uniqueness that i found in the show. May be you can watch it if have the chance, and share with me you views :) Till then.
