Kyle XY Season 2 - The long-awaited set is here! 5 out of 5 stars.
12 of 13 people found this review helpful.
For those who so thoroughly enjoyed Season 1 of Kyle XY, Season 2 continues the story with some new twists and new characters, while wrapping up loose threads from Season 1. After the death of his mentor, Adam Baylin, Kyle returns to the Trager family, who keenly felt his absence.
Kyle continues to work on developing his abilities under the tutelage of Tom Foss (Nicholas Lea, Alex Krycek on "The X-Files"), while keeping his activities secret, which strains his relationship with his newly adopted family. He also pursues a relationship with Amanda, the neighbor girl he doted on in Season 1.
However, in Season 2, Kyle is no longer the only one of his kind. Shortly before a bomb takes out the laboratory where Kyle was created, a female like him emerges from her pod and runs wild in Seattle, until the company that created her reprograms her into Jessi, Kyle's friend/enemy. She is almost his complete opposite, unafraid to even kill.
The Trager family's lives remain interesting as well, as Steven is hired by the very company controlling Jessi, Lori and Declan's relationship is strained by Declan's keeping Kyle's secrets, Nicole provides therapy to Jessi, and Josh reaches the age of 16, and gets a girlfriend named Andy (yes, she's a girl!) who is suffering from a serious illness, which inspires Josh to do a lot of growing up in this season, while still maintaining his singular wit.
The longer season allows for more dramatic storytelling, leading up to a startling cliffhanger, which begins on TV in January. Interesting timing for the release, eh?
But for all that Kyle learns in this season, it seems clear that he has barely begun to scratch the surface, and may always be attempting to answer the tagline question: Who is Kyle XY?

I just bought this and started watching...this is now 3:00AM and just switched of the DVD I just could not stop watching. I watched this season from the Pilot to the end one after the other.
Thank you for the reviews if it was not for you guys I would never have taken the change to buy this and would have missed out on an excellent show.
I can't wait for Season 2...
If you are still wondering, don't make a mistake buy this it is absolutely worth it.
Parents Beware! Lacks the morality you might expect. 2 out of 5 stars.

Brought to you by Disney. Disney has come a long way...they have taken a perfectly good concept, good actors and actresses and have sunk miserably in relation to morality.
Since no one else addresses this issue I will: True to life, you can't have strong morals without a foundation to build upon...Church and a belief in a higher power are brought into the story line under cloak and dagger, a fake parent lies about the bond with a higher power, while another left it behind long ago. So who's the good guy?
Disney portrays it as the one that left it long ago...so with that said is there any wonder why his 13 yr old son is hooked on pornography and masturbation and is excepted behavior (no reaction whatsoever by he or mom to his stash of porno mag.) and it's projected as cool when he introduces Kyle to porno and masturbation!
Family morals? Of course not, there's no real family morality!
Same with daughter, sister Laura, having sex is just coming of age! No big deal, after all, Dad (thinking back), after 10 shots of tequila on his honeymoon then tells his wife that he was having sex as early as 13.
That's a loving picture for a honeymoon memory, Hey mom's how pleased would you have been had your husband admitted that to you on your honeymoon? Are you laughing? It's supposed to be funny?
So in the Teager house - sex of any kind is an ok and permissible. It's treated as a "coming of age experience"
Please Disney writers refrain from your liberal and immoral perspective of family values and stick with the story line. Not one of those scenes was even necessary to carry the story for even a moment.
Is it really that hard to write a 45 min script without trashing it with this unnecessary garbage? As for the excuse of portraying reality, dudes, its sci-fi, you've already left reality!
