As Buffy goes through the struggles of teenage life - boyfriends, parents, school - she also struggles with the forces of darkness. This second season begins in the same vein as the first one with high-quality acting, drama, comedy and horror but midway through the season a shocking turn of events escalates the show to a new level. From then on the season is tense, suspenseful, heartbreaking (while still maintaining comedy elements) as one of Buffy"s closest allies betrays her.
As a season this one is much more fully realised than the first and for novice Buffy watchers would probably serve as a better introduction to the series. It is still cited by some as the best season in the show's run and it certainly shows the full range of the regular cast particularly Sarah Michelle Gellar and David Boreanaz. Stand-out episodes from this season include 'Innocence', 'Passion' and the two part finale 'Becoming'. It is also the season that introduces characters that become key in later seasons such as Spike, Oz and Drusilla.
The box set has very few special features and on possibly some of the most important episodes of the series the lack of commentary is startling. However there is a good commentary on 'Innocence' by Joss Whedon. The picture quality holds up better than the first season but is still not perfect due to the film it was recorded on and there is no way to improve upon it (luckily this is changed in later seasons).
In this series we are introduced to new and exciting characters such as Spike(James marsters)and Oz(Seth green),and as usual see buffy(Sarah michelle gellar)at her sexy vampire slaying best,so in my opinion season 2 is the best in the buffy collection.
