It's filled with demons, monsters and magic, but also with more human violence than is usual in these stories, with an all-out shooting war between Mexican and Russian gangs in LA and Sunnydale. At the end of volume one, The Burning, Buffy and Angel saw a man disappear into a strange shimmering golden circle which then vanished and now similar circles are appearing in Sunnydale, disgorging monsters of every description. Buffy and Riley are kept busy fighting them, helped by Spike, who still can't hurt humans and is delighted to have something he can hit. Meanwhile, in LA, more teenagers are vanishing, apparently into thin air. The background story takes us to the USSR in 1971 where scientists were experimenting with a "Reality Tracer" designed to make contact with alternate realities, looking for worlds where communism has triumphed. When the Soviet Union collapsed, some of the scientists brought their machine to LA, where they hooked up with the Russian mafia who are currently fighting a turf war with Mexican gangs. But the portals created by this machine aren't working exactly as they should. In amongst the action, the authors still find time for the familiar bickering between the regulars--Cordelia's Wesley-baiting and Anya's general tactlessness are particularly enjoyable, and it's good to see Tara included in the Scooby Gang. This is a very good second volume and sets the stage for what should be an explosive finale in volume three: Long Way Home --Elizabeth Sourbut

Advantages: Great characters, an excellent story arc, fantastic season finale Disadvantages: A couple of bad episodes
Buffy the Vampire Slayer really found its feet in season two. It progressed from being a monster of the week show, to a show with a serious storyline, character and plot arcs.
I don't want to repeat the general information I put into my review of season one, so I'll just jump straight into reviewing the characters and episodes. Read my review of season one here: http://dvd.ciao.co.uk/BuffyTheVampireSlayerSeason1CollectionDVDRev iew5767154
... ...out of her shell, and Buffy grows up a lot as she deals with the hand life has dealt her.
There are some wonderful new characters in this season, amongst them the infamous Spike. The bleach blonde vampire is played by James Marsters with aplomb and despite the slightly dodgy English accent is a fantastic character. Accompanying Spike is the insane Drusilla; another English character played by an American - in this case Juliet Landau. Spike and Dru ...

Advantages: Angel loses his soul. Evil Angelus is a must see. Disadvantages: A dodgy looking werewolf in "Pases".
Buffy is outstanding TV and season 2 is no exception. From the rather odd sounding title you may get the impression that Buffy is all about the kill but its not, it has so many levels and is written by extraordinary writers who really personalise each character's vocabulary. Overview for those of you unfortunate enough to not watched Buffy before..
Buffy is a high school student (season 1 -3) who finds out at the age of 14 that she is "The Chosen ... ...right to the last ever Buffy episode, "Chosen", in season 7. Drusilla: Crazy vamp who Angelus and Spike fight over. Angelus: Buffy's Vampire With A Soul boyfriend now soulless. David Boreanaz has a great talent for playing evil and is seriously scary.
Oz: (Seth Green) Willow's new boyfriend who is also a werewolf. He's a cool character; you can't help but like him. Some of the Buffy characters seem to like to hear themselves speak (*coughXandercough*) ...
