Quality! (05 June 2008)Big respect to this series. Even better than No.1. And Buffy, in my opinion. Cheap Price to ensures that you are getting a good deal out of this. Drawn further into the Whedonverse (29 January 2008)Many TV series hit their stride with their Season 2 and this seems to have happened with "Angel". Season 1 was not at all bad, setting the scene and introducing the characters, with an abundance of decent plots, demons, action, and good characterisation and dialogue. But Season 2 takes it to a new level as the various story arcs develop. The team is expanded with the addition of Gunn, while the increasing role of the Holtz is apparent, and Fred is introduced. Cordelia becomes less self-centred, Wesley continues his transformation from wimp to James Bond figure, and Angel remains good (despite attempts to render him dark again). As the schemes of (literally) evil law firm Wolfram and Hart play a larger part so we see more of the workings within the firm and some welcome character development there. More of Angel's back story is revealed, and we have a good scattering of guest stars as various characters from "Buffy" appear for a short time in the LA setup. Not only do we have gloom and demonic threats aplenty and action galore, we also have some very witty dialogue and truly funny moments, all the better for being short or in the background and not milked or drawn out. All in all a very good demonstration of the remarkable talents of the remarkably-talented Joss Whedon and his team. Darkness is coming... (24 November 2007)Angel's second season was a point where the show would have to prove it's separation from Buffy and reinforce it's own identity, it does so well and delivers a solid darker season than the first. The key difference between the two seasons is that where the first was made up of individual stories, this second is made up of two extended plots running over multiple episodes. The first of these extended plots follows Angel's personal turn to darkness bordering on madness after the resurrection of his sire Darla by Wolfram&Hart. This Darla plotline gives Angel plenty of opportunity to really become darker but without the need for losing his soul and becoming angelus again, which is a device that would have just been a cop-out here and is pleasantly absent. The second major plotline comes very near the end of the series and is only made up of a few episodes, where Angel and co end up in another dimension and the whole things goes a bit epic fantasy, this is done well and features a fantastic cameo by show creator Joss Whedon (Numfar, dancer of the dance of joy). The problem with the inter-dimensional plotline is that it's tone is a lot lighter than the rest of the season and this sudden switch seems pretty abrupt and out of place. Having said that the whole thing is very enjoyable and gives lots of screen time to The Host - a character introduced in this season, a demon who owns a karaoke bar and reads souls who sing - and he's always value for money. In conclusion, if you enjoyed the first season then you should definitely give the second a look. It's bigger, darker, and easily far better than it's predecessor. Too Expensive (18 October 2007)If you owned an Amercian DVD player, you could buy it on amazon.com for 5 pounds less.The package on amazon.com has 6 discs instead of 1. |
