--Overall--
Angel season two is bigger and better than before, with a better overall plot arc and a great season finale that puts season one's ending to shame.
Gunn's addition to the fang gang worked really well, as he provided a much needed contrast to the way Angel and Wesley worked. Amy Acker as Fred is fantastic - but we only get to see a little of her character here. Don't worry, she's back full-time from season three on.
Whilst there are a few bad episodes in the mix, there's enough here to keep you watching and wanting more. ...
Advantages: All 22 Episodes in one boxset | Angel singing Mandy Disadvantages: Still too dependent on viewer having watched Buffy
After having watched all seven seasons of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and owning them on DVD, I decided the time had come to purchase the boxsets of the spin-off seriesAngel. Although I enjoyed the first season, I felt it was perhaps a little disjointed, so when I started on this the second season I was a little apprehensive, but was I right to be so? Read on and you'll find out?.

We see Angel, trying to come to terms with the fact that he may one day become human once more, Cordelia is still trying to ...
Advantages: 22 episodes of fun and demon killing Disadvantages: Again the box lets it down
