I went in to HIM not really knowing what to expect. I found it engaging and mostly in a challenging way. Yes, it has the affectation of never actually calling the protagonist (Fionn Whitehead) by his name, just him. It also has shades of Kyle XY, though in a much more British than American way.

The series is more about the angst of a 17 year old trying to figure out how he fits in to the two new families his divorced parents have both moved on with, seemingly leaving him behind. Oh, and he also has supernatural powers - or does he? It is rather well done in that regard, where I at least was questioning were his telekinetic powers real or was this kid just delusional. The entire cast was good, giving real feeling of trying to make their own lives work while not knowing how to deal with a troubled teen. It was also well done being kept at just three episodes. Overall, I'd recommend giving it a watch.
