Season 2 of Buffy is superior than its predecessor in every way possible. We get to know the characters even better including Giles and it really finds its footing in every aspect. Let's face it it's one of the best seasons of the shows history and we get Spike and Drusilla as our big bads including Angelus! Nigh on perfect of a season and includes some of the best episodes of Buffy ever made.
-
A perfect combination of fun, heart and soul, Season 2 of Buffy ramps up the excitement, and then some. It fleshes out existing characters effortlessly, totally unafraid to tear your heart out in the process. Expect brilliant twists and turns, and an abundance of newbies - good and bad - that help mould this sophomore year into one of Buffy's most impactful. The finale will also leave you reeling.
-
Season 2 of Buffy picks up quickly, revving us through a pretty successful classic arc surrounding new villains like Spike and Drusilla, and the tossing and turning of the Angel-Buffy dynamic, all while slowly adding dimensions to the so-called Scooby Gang. The show is still finding its voice, and could have included some less played out archetypes. For what it means to the series, it gets a nice pass.
-
The first three seasons are epic.
-
Best season of the greatest TV Show!! A massive step up from season 1! Worth sticking around if you are thinking of quitting
-
Season 2 is much better than Season 1. There's much more character development, and, where Season 1 consisted of an endless stream of fights, Season 2 features more interesting elements of the characters lives.

Best big-bad in the show
-
Season 2 of Buffy is the most intense, dramatic, and satisfying season in the series. The only issue with this season is its own lack of cohesion. Episode 13, "Surprise," offers a dramatic and satisfying turn in the series. The issue with this is that certain episodes after the turn do not fit the overall tone of the second half. Episodes like "Go Fish" offer nothing to the overarching storyline and are largely considered filler episodes. Issues aside, when this season shines, it shines bright and makes for excellent television. The season finale "Becoming" is one of the best episodes of the series and possibly one of the best written episodes in television history.
-
Buffy sleeps with Angel and he loses his soul. The shit hits the fan and some supporting characters don't make it to season 3.

This rating is for the original TV series, not the HD remaster. Try to see the original version if you can, they messed with the artistic integrity of the original by messing up all the color screening in the remaster which makes night time look like day, the actors look like plastic, etc. Buffy the Vampire Slayer started off as a campy and cheesy show comedy show but quickly developed into a show with great drama in it and quickly became one of my favourite shows as I watched it over the seasons. It never takes itself too seriously, sometimes poking fun at itself, yet it delivered a surprising amount of character development and drama for a show that started as a silly premise based on the original movie (the original movie was pretty boring, the show is way better)..
