Angel continues to seek redemption, but a fatal mistake makes him realize that racking up the body count isn?t 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

Titled "Are You Now Or Have You Ever Been.", the episode, partily set in the `50's, deals with a demon using people's own paranoia against each other. The season as a whole makes for good storytelling. A subject Rod Serling touched upon with "The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street", an episode of "The Twilight Zone" that "Angel" writer Tim Minear refers to in his commentary of "Are You Now Or Have You Ever Been.". The "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" crossovers for this season are Alyson Hannigan as Willow, Mercedes McNab as Harmony, Juliet Landau as Druscilla and Julie Benz as Darla (whom Wolfram & Hart resurrected in the finale of Season One, "To Shanshu In L.A." after Angel had "dusted" her in the episode named after him in Season One of "Buffy The Vampire Slayer"). My favorite episodes from this season are "Guise Will Be Guise" and "Disharmony". The second season and new offices for Angel Investigations as they move into an old, abandoned hotel at the end of the second episode. Amy Acker joins the cast as Fred in the last few episodes in which Cordelia ends up in a place located in another dimension where she goes from cow status to queen.

Finally season 8 by Joss Whedon. I'm a big Buffy and Angel fan, so 5 stars goes without saying. But have you checked out the comic books.

Loren (The Host) has really grown on me. A real knock out. But just enough to take the edge off. Cordilia (Charisma Carpenter) is gorgeous. But not too much because the show would turn silly. Such drama mixed in with a little comedy.
It's a freakin soap opera. Even though he can be disturbing to look at at times (it's the red eyes) he adds a pleasant humor to the show. I know why I like it so much now. Darla (Julie Benz) is simply gorgeous as well. I will be ordering the third season real soon. This one was great. I get so angry when I come to the end of these seasons.
I am almost a middle aged dude with a crush on her.
