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

Customer Reviews of Angel - Season Two
Angel faces the dark side of his soul In season two we see Angel change gears from the "monster of the week" format of season one, to the season-long story arcs that are a trademark of the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" series. Two thirds of the season deals with the resurrection of Angel's vampire lover by evil and mystical law firm Wolfram & Hart. You need to watch episode 1.7 of Buffy entitled "Angel" to get the backstory on this, since this is the episode in which "Angel" kills Darla's vampire self. Thus, Darla, resurrected in human rather than vampire form, has a desire for revenge against Angel, and at the same time has to deal with her human conscience for the first time in 400 years. When it is discovered that Darla is dying from the same disease she was dying from when she was transformed into a vampire the first time, Angel futilely seeks a cure. Lindsey, the Wolfram & Hart lawyer who has fallen in love with Darla, finds another way to keep her alive. Since working for an evil law firm has discounted the value of a soul in Lindsey's eyes, his solution is to remake Darla into a vampire. The strain of first regaining Darla as a human and then losing her to vampirism is too much for Angel, and this sends his soul to a very dark place. He spends months forgetting about his original mission of helping the helpless and goes on a crusade of punishing the guilty, thus becoming obsessed with revenge against those responsible at Wolfram and Hart and casting his friends aside in the process. After a night of passion with Darla, Angel finally realizes that what he has reached is perfect dispair, not perfect happiness, and tries to regain his friends. For obvious reasons - he fired them and sent them packing - his former associates are slow to trust him, but they do come around and manage to forgive him. The last four episodes of the season are about the fang gang taking a trip to Lorne's original dimension - Pylea - where there is no such thing as music and where Cordelia is first enslaved and then made princess. Besides the change to story-arc form there are several other developments in this second season of Angel, most of them good. <
>1. Wesley transitions from comic relief to more of the "brains with bravery" character we have come to know. <
>2. Cordelia moves further away from self absorption. <
>3. Kate Lockley, the police officer that had a large role in season one, is sidelined with only rare appearances. <
>4. Charles Gunn has a much larger role in this season. <
>5. The introduction of an empath demon originally known as "The Host". His name is actually "Lorne", but because he is also green, he has been reluctant to use this name since he thinks it would conjure up too many comparisons to "Lorne Greene".
Plain and simple:
Plain and simple: ANGEL was a better show than BUFFY (I enjoy both).

>The only reason I did not give Season 2 five stars is because I think Season One is really superior to Season Two.
i freaking love this show!
I am a huge fan of Buffy, but i think Angel may be just a bit more kick ass! The story is just amazing and all the mythology behind it, i love it! You get to know each and every character personally and sometimes you might even feel a bit for the evil characters on the show! It's so amazing!
