Summary: Another Great Season
Review: This season is the start of the story arc in this great show. Where as 1st season was comprised of mostly stand alone episodes, this season has many interesting plots threaded out between 22 episodes.One of the story arcs is the return of Darla, who was brought back by Wolfram and Hart in the season finale of 1st season. She really messes with Angel's head and it results in the temporary break up of Angel Investigations. It breaks the crew up into two separate storylines for about half of a season. In one storyline there is Angel and Darla and the surprise return of another vampire friend at the end of Reunion. The other storyline is Cordelia, Wesley and Gunn trying to run their detective agency without the help of a superpower. There are some great stories told in this season. And it is the first time you really get a glimpse of a bad Angel that isnt Angelus. I'd have to say that I liked him. There are a lot of flashbacks in this season, and you get a lot of background information on Angel, which some people think is boring, but I really enjoy. You see the return of Willow and Harmony in the episode Disharmony, which is by far the funniest of the season. Mostly because of a very confused Cordelia. Willow is also at the end of There's No Place Like Plrtz Glrb, but she has no lines. It is just implied that she is there to tell Angel about what happened at the end of Fifth Season of Buffy. The most interesting storyline is the last 3 episodes of this season which take you to Lorne's(also known as the Host and Krevlorneswath of the Deathwok Clan) homeland of Pylea. Lorne isnt really part of the gang in this season, but he helps Angel out a lot. The gang has to go into Pylea in order to save Cordelia, and it results in 3 great episodes, and the discovery of a crazy girl who has been stuck there for the last 5 years of her life. The crazy girl is Winifred Burkle, Fred, and she becomes my favorite character on the show quickly. This season is a must own.

Summary: Where it All Starts
Review: This is where the greatness of Angel begins. The season starts out with Angel arrogant over the fact that he will eventually become human, and he is taking risks because he thinks that he can't die. The season further moves on with Darla's return, her terminal illness, and her subsequent transformation into a vampire again. Wolfram and Hart takes it's place as the big bad, and further plagues Angel. The second season of the show explores Angel and his dark side, and it finds all the characters pushed to their breaking point. It all sets up the show for the astounding third season, where the build-up from this season turns into a roller coaster ride. Starring David Boreanaz, Charisma Carter, Amy Acker, Alexis Denisoff, J. Augustis Richards, and Andy Hallet. The episodes from the second season are: 1. Judgement
2. Are You Now or Have You Ever Been?
3. First Impressions
4. Untouched
5. Dear Booy
6. Guise Will be Guise
7. Darla
8. Shroud of Rahmon
9. Trial
10. Reunion
11. Redefinition
12. Blood Money
13. Happy Anniversary
14. Thin Dead Line
15. Reprise
16. Epiphany
17. Disharmony
18. Dead End
19. Belonging
20. Over The Rainbow
21. Through the Looking Glass
22. There's No Place Like Plrtz Glrb

Summary: Another Great Season for Everyone's Favorite Vampire!
Review: The writing in these episodes is a fresh look at a cast of characters whose post-Buffy lives continue to spin inwards and outwards, simultaneously giving viewers inside knowledge into Angel's past and the personal lives and character motivations of this amazing supporting cast. The love triangles drawn here are well balanced and lead to funny antics as well as tender moments that are surprisingly believable. The worlds within, under and through - literally - Santa Monica, are woven together pretty tight on this show. A good purchase, this.

Summary: Beginning to stand on it's own
Review: The first season of Angel, a spin off of Joss Whedon's wildly popular series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, was rough around the edges to say the least. Season 2 of Angel saw the series begin to find it's own footing, setting itself apart from it's counterpart program. Tortured vampire Angel (David Boreanaz), along with Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter) and Wesley (Alexis Denisof) are joined by vampire street fighter Gunn (J. August Richards) as Angel Investigations upgrades to a run down L.A. hotel. Naturally though, things don't stay peaceful for long; as the demonic law firm Wolfram & Hart resurrects Angel's old love Darla (Julie Benz) who is made a vampire once again by her old cohort Drusilla (Juliet Landau) and Angel finds himself lured away from his team (get all that?). This is when the show began to show signs of being something really special. Just as Whedon's Buffy had began perfection in the middle of it's second season, Angel began to show the same signs of life and out grow it's growing pains; until the much dismissed by some and well liked by others storyarc taking place in the demon dimension of Pylea where the gang finds themselves trapped. It shouldn't have come close to working, but thanks to Whedon's creative team of writers it did, and the cast themselves began to soar when the green skinned, horned, karaoke loving demon Lorne (Andy Hallett) and trapped pysicist Fred (Amy Acker) are introduced. Though it's not perfect, the second season of Angel is some of the best TV to be seen, and the hilarious episode entitled "Disharmony", where newly vampiric Harmony (Mercedes McNabb) pays the crew a visit, is worth the price of admission alone.

Summary: Standing on Your Own
Review: A lot of people told me, after buying season 1 and loving it, that I would care for season 2 even more. I didn't think that possible, and alas, it wasn't. Don't get me wrong here! The second season was amazing; the money I paid for it was well spent. I still love rewatching every episode. However, I was really missing the "creature of the week" basis that season 1 had, and while Julie Benz was truly amazing as the classy vampire Darla, there was something about the Angel/Darla scenario that really turned me off this season. Angel going back to a darker side also was very unappealing for me. I like happy, funny Angel! Although, I will give it some credit because it was very interesting to see the darkness inside of Angel, even when he is good. Enough of that, though. Other than Darla, I was amazed with this season. I've heard many people say that this was the year Angel finally "stood on it's own", and they were right! Now a show of it's own, Angel is still taking on Wolfram & Heart, the evil lawyers who work for inhumanly things. We learn a bit more of the lawyers, which I liked. Also this season, we meet "The Host", a green horn demon that has his own karaoke bar where demons can go for peace. Whenever you sing, you bear your soul, which The Host then reads into. This comes in handy for Angel, unfortunately for us. Some of the greatest comedy this season came from dear Angel and his singing. :) Wesley really shines this season; no matter how much you hated him before, you can't help but like him now, fighting the good fight. Cordelia is, well, Cordelia, as always. Still charming in her own way. Gunn becomes a solid part of the group, which I was happy to see. Gunn is more real, I think, than any of the others. I can relate to him better, I suppose. He is a great addition to the group. My favorite episodes of the season has to be the last three, in which Angel, Gunn, and The Host go to rescue Cordelia who is trapped in the Host's home world. I won't ruin it for you, but the last three episodes of the season bring a much needed mix of love, comedy, and action that I was somewhat lacking. It was very interesting to me, to see how the gang goes along in a different world. I'm sure you will be surprised by Cordelia's place in it all. ;-D My favorite moment of the season is when Angel, Cordelia, Wesley, Gunn, and Fred (a girl they rescue from the other world) come back only to find Willow crying on a couch when they walk in the doors. I loved this because I was almost laughing as Angel wanted to open the doors, and then suddenly realize: Buffy's dead. Nobody can sadden you like Alyson Hannigan can. This season was very good, and well worth your money. It was particularly interesting to me because we find out more about Angel and his past; we are also put through many, many emotions during this season. It really tugs at your heart in some parts. Go out and get it today!

Summary: I love season 2!
Review: Angel is one of three shows now airing that I am an absolute freak about. If I can't watch the broadcast, I tape it. The current season (5) has been a terrific return to form with tightly written episodes like --You're Welcome--. While I'm collecting all the season sets, Season Two is, IMHO, the best of a great show. Although I miss the monster-of-the-week eps of the first season, as well as the character of Doyle, the depth and development of this season more than make up the difference.

Summary: Continuing Excellent Entertainment
Review: I bought the 1st season as a gift for my wife thinking it was something she might like (her being a horror movie fan). What we got was a intensely entertaining series that I have bought the 2nd season for the both of us and are axiously awaiting the delivery of Season 3. Unless you are offended by the comic references to the occult, the whole family can enjoy this series. Its one of the few times we have a weekend with all of us (kids included), we make some pizzas and watch the whole series over a weekend. Mainly because once we start we don't want to stop, buy the 1st season and continue with the rest, you won't be disappointed.
