Kyle XY (2006)
More soap opera than sci-fi.

I've tried getting into this show, but find that the 'sci-fi' component is so watered down that it has become a rather insipid soap opera.
I would prefer more sci-fi and less 'human condition'. Teary-eyed teenagers exuding pathos to some rock ballad really is a poor substitute for an original plot and I rapidly tire of film makers competing to 'teach us' what makes us 'human' with the odd reference to 'gene splicing' pared to the bare minimum necessary to qualify as 'science'-fiction.
This is a show for Tammy Wynette fans who like plenty of emotion and scope for 'feeling' for fictional characters going through life issues.
