The second season of Angel saw the cult vampire show finally stand on its own from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, assembling all the members of the show's core cast, transferring the action to a fashionably run-down L.A. hotel, and bringing in a few Buffy characters from Angel's history to further establish the moody vampire's own mythology. Moving their Angel Investigations to posher digs, Angel (David Boreanaz), Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter), and Wesley (Alexis Denisof) were soon joined by street fighter (J. August Richards)--and by street fighter, of course we mean demon street fighter. But just as this group was solidifying, up popped Angel's old love, Darla (the fantastic Julie Benz), freshly arrived in L.A. from a hell dimension… just in time to be turned into a vampire again by her old cohort, Drusilla (Juliet Landau), and lure Angel into abandoning his newly formed team. It was the best and worst of times for Angel in its second year, for while the basis was being set for the show's stellar third and fourth seasons, dramatic tension was diluted by Angel's going solo and the necessary (but plot-debilitating) flashbacks to various points in Angel's history. However, just when it seemed everything was about to fly out the window, Angel's creative team threw its characters for a loop--literally--by transporting them to the demon dimension of Pylea, a medieval-style fantasyland populated by monsters and humans alike. It shouldn't have worked, as hokey as it was... but it did, thanks to crack storytelling, sharp dialogue, and the sheer joy the actors unleashed, especially the gifted and fiendishly funny Carpenter. The second half of the season also saw the addition of two of Angel's best characters: the horned Lorne (Andy Hallett), a green demon with a penchant for karaoke, and Fred (Amy Acker), a physicist trapped in Pylea who helped the gang engineer their escape. With these two in tow, Angel began to soar. --Mark Englehart

Rating:  - Wonderful! Have you checked out the comic books?
I'm a big Buffy and Angel fan, so 5 stars goes without saying. But have you checked out the comic books? Finally season 8 by Joss Whedon!
Rating:  - Good storytelling
The second season and new offices for Angel Investigations as they move into an old, abandoned hotel at the end of the second episode. Titled "Are You Now Or Have You Ever Been?", the episode, partily set in the `50's, deals with a demon using people's own paranoia against each other. A subject Rod Serling touched upon with "The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street", an episode of "The Twilight Zone" that "Angel" writer Tim Minear refers to in his commentary of "Are You Now Or Have You Ever Been?"

Rating: - Great!
I get so angry when I come to the end of these seasons. This one was great. I know why I like it so much now. It's a freakin soap opera. Such drama mixed in with a little comedy. But not too much because the show would turn silly. But just enough to take the edge off.
Cordilia (Charisma Carpenter) is gorgeous. I am almost a middle aged dude with a crush on her. Darla (Julie Benz) is simply gorgeous as well. A real knock out. I will be ordering the third season real soon.

All of the Angel series DVD's are excellent! I just wish the show never ended.
Rating: - The Darla Dilemma-Angel's Second Season
After an excellent start with its first season, Angel began to truly become it's own with its impressive sophomore season. Not just using the monster-of-the-week format, this is when the series began to create it's own story arcs, and the first is an amazing one. Wolfram and Hart has brought back Darla, the vampire who sired Angel and became his lover for over 150 years. But with Darla back, Angel begins to lose himself in his dreams, which he soon realizes are real when he finds that Darla is alive. Wesley, ... Read More
