Product Description
Angel continues to seek redemption, but a fatal mistake makes him realize that racking up the body count isnt the way to go. So with a renewed sense of purpose and Cordelia, Wesley and Gunn at his side, Angel sets out to make the streets of Los Angeles a little safer for everyone unaware that Wolfram & Hart has summoned someone from his past to make sure he fails.

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

This season contains some of my all time favorite episodes. ARE YOU NOW OR HAVE YOU EVER BEEN? is a wonderful look at Angel's past and how far our willingness to help others gets us. EPIPHANY has us look at what it takes to correct our mistakes and how we can't get things back to the way they were, no matter how hard we try to make things right. The other episodes are so strong they are hard to single out.
This season had a wonderful flow from episode to episode. There were episode contained stories, yet the stronger story is definately in the season long arc. I didn't catch the series when it was on TV. I'm glad I was able to see this season all together at my pacing with no missed episodes. They keep you caring about the characters and the choices and consequences of those characters.
There are some exceptionally funny scenes and one liners. The one liners are so good that my daughter and I find ourselves quoting Angel more than any other movie or show. As good as the humor is it still does not detract from the weight of the drama.
This is an excellent season of Angel. The character development is strong and the backgrounds give even more depth to already strong characters. The stories have great pacing and continue to be enjoyable on second and third viewings.
Season 2 is a truly excellent season,this season overall shows a darker side of Angel,as he becomes almost totally obsessed with Darla who has been brought back from the dead at the end of season 1.Angel fires Gunn,Wesly and Cordie for a time and is consumed with Darla and indeed with Wolfram Heart.He allows Darla and Druscilla to kill a whole room full of lawyers from Wolfram Heart.Angel walks a tight rope between good and evil for a decent part of this season and the tension and twists in the story are excellent.
Seeason 1 of Angel tended to be more of a monster of the week theme were as in Season 2 one begins to see more of the larger story arcs this show would become known for both in the Darla story(which wasn't really finished up until season 3),Angels obsession with Wolfram Heart,his problems with his own people and in the end of the season the groups trip to Pylea.
This is purely personal opinion what I am about to say but I actually like larger story arcs as opposed to the monster of the week stories.There are several stand out episodes in this season,including 'Are you now or have you ever been','Dear Boy','Darla','The trail','Reunion','Reprise','Dead End','Over the rainbow','Thorough the looking glass' and 'There's no place like plrtz glrd' and more,a great season ,very much worth owning.
I bought mine from amazon.com,I got it very quickly and it arrived in excellent condition.
One of the things we have come to expect from a series created (or co-created) by Joss Whedon is the ability to play both light and dark. We have also come to expect a story-arc for the first half of the season that combines in some interesting way with the second half story-arc. What that means here is that Angel spends the first half of the second season destroying everything he has built because of Darla, and the second half trying to put it back together again after an initial period where he does not especially want to. For me the problem is that while the previous season ended with the revelation that Wolfram & Hart had brought back Darla, it also revealed the correct translation of the word "shanshu" was "to live" rather than "to die." Once the vampire with a soul fulfills his destiny, he (read Angel at this point) will become human as his reward. Angel allowed, "That'd be nice." How we got from that Angel to the one smoking a cigarette so he could flick it into a pool of gasoline to torch Darla and Drusilla is what makes the first half of the season interesting. As Darla correctly observes, the creature who did this was neither Angel nor Angelus.
Even if we do not agree with the dark place to which Angel goes in this second season, Whedon and series co-creator David Greenwalt justify the transformation. The series was fortunate in bringing back the character of Darla because over the next two seasons Julie Benz was going to turn in the best performance by a recurring guest star on either "Angel" (or "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") culminating in the show's best moment when Connor is born in the third season. The mind games that Darla plays with Angel, aided and abetted by the Wolfram & Hart tag team of Lindsey McDonald (Christian Kane) and Lila Morgan (Stephanie Romanov), provides adequate motivation, especially when Angel fails to save Darla and she is turned back into a vampire by Drusilla.
For me the problem is getting from that dark place to Angel basking in the sunlight of Pylea, made possible because it takes six episodes for Angel to see the light ("Epiphany"). It seems to me that should have been the big finale for the show's second season given how dark it was getting, but instead we get the comic adventures of the gang in a demon dimension. True, we get the sight of Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter) as queen, the addition of Amy Acker as Fred, and the season ends with Alyson Hannigan showing up as Willow to tell Angel by just the look on her face that something has happened to Buffy. But given Angel's dark descent the reversal at the end is rather disquieting (and certainly unique in the dozen "BtVS"/"Angel" finales).
The best episodes in Season Two usually have to do with the Darla plot line, with Drala setting Kate Lockley (Elisabeth Rohm) after Angel in "Dear Boy," Angel facing "The Trial" to try and save Darla (who sings "Ill Wind" at Caritas), and Darla and Dru on the town in "Reunion." I also like Lindsey's swan song in "Dead End," thanks to his "evil hand," and especially since Christian Kane sing at Caritas. The two best comedy episodes of the season are "Guise Will be Guise," where Wesley (Alexis Denisov) is mistaken for Angel by a beautiful client, Virginia Bryce (Brigid Brannagh) and tries to play the role the hilt, and then "Disharmony," where Harmony (Mercedes McNab) the vampire shows up on the doorstep of Cordelia and decides to try and go straight (unlike Willow, who has a very funny phone call from Cory). But there really is nothing funnier than the Dance of Shame that Lorne's mother insists upon when her offspring returns home to Pylea (because Lorne's severed head talking was not a surprise).
On balance and from the perspective of looking back on the five season of the show, I think Season 2 was the weakest year of "Angel." That being said, this is a pretty good low point. If they had explored the character who was neither Angel nor Angelus for the rest of the season and really wallowd in the dark stuff I would have rated the season higher because as "Angel" proved the following year it was when things got really bad that the show got really good. Getting away from the flashbacks always being about the Angelus years to an earlier time in Angel's quest for atonement in "Are You Now or Have You Ever Been?" was a good move and taking advantage of Wolfram & Hart in "Blood Money" were solid stand alone episodes. In the end, the worst thing I can saw about "Angel, Season 2" is that the first half was better than the second half. That might seem a minor complaint, but not with a Joss Whedon show.

On an individual basis, David Boreanaz shows us another aspect of his talent. We've seen (and loved every minute of) his plain old evil zero soul Angellus, we've seen the quiet, swishing coat, I'd-rather-be-reading-french-poetry-than-talking-to-humans kind (gets the girls going), but now we watch over half a dozen or so episodes, his descent into a darker place than any of us thought he could get to. It's fine (sic) being evil if you haven't got a soul, but it's a different thing to do it when you know, and care, exactly what you are doing. It's scary, it's fascinating, you don't know what he's going to do next.... and it is awesome. Angel struggles with his conscience every day, but combine that with the reappearance of his sire (Darla), Wolfram and Hart trying to drive him mad and bad and battling demons which seem to find the worst in him and the people immediately around him, and you know something is going to give. Sit back and let the storm rip!
The other characters complement the series perfectly. Wes's transformation from bumbling Jane Austen wet to full of resolve, stiff-upper-lip leader is excellent. Charisma Carpenter gets better and better throughout the series as the beloved Cordy, slowly changing into a caring, sharing kind of oracle (who is an absolute bombshell in her princess outfit!). Whereas she started off more as part of the comic relief, she quickly becomes the centre and the focus of the group. When she is in danger, all else takes a back seat. And quite rightly too.
The host's role gradually expands as his appeal is realised (still not enough of him though), but a really good goodie wouldn't be anything without a really good baddie. This is where this series falls down slightly, but where Wolfram and Hart fail, Lindsay suceeds. I didn't think it was possible, but he broods almost as much as Angel! He wears his heart on his sleeve and this makes for fantastic confrontation.
If you want great stories, excellent characters and a lasting subplot, I cannot recommend this series enough. However, it loses a star for the last three episodes. Pants.
