4/5 pretty good

I got what I expected, just had some problems with delivery - not that quick, and there was a problem with the shipment, though that's probably more the postage office's fault than anyone else's....

1/5 Terrible video quality.

I love the show. I hate the video quality of this DVD. It looks like it was mastered with a VHS tape or maybe worse. Terrible video quality. Highly disappointing. At least I got it cheap.


5/5 best season
  by Ariella
If I could only own one season of buffy it would be this one. The second season is actually what drew me in because it's amazing, the rest of the series is great too but this season is just the best. There's everything you could want, romance, hot guys, funny moments, angst, action, kinda scary moments, and something only Joss Whedon does that I just can't name. I would say what it's about but plenty of other reviews plus the summary already tell you. I just want to add another 5 star review because this season deserves it.

5/5 One of the best seasons of television ever
  by jackbauerfan
And I really mean that. This is by far my favorite season of Buffy. This season opens up with a bang. (This review will contain many spoilers). The first episode, "When she was bad", is one of my favorite episodes in the whole series. Buffy comes back from summer vacation acting very different. She is very moody, and is acting very wild. Her friends assume she is possessed by some sort of demon. It turns out that she is just in a deep depression from her death at the end of the previous season. The episode "School Hard" introduces Spike, the villain for the first half of the season, who is also one of the best fictional characters of all time as far as I'm concerned. "Halloween" and "Lie to me" were two other great episodes, the first for its exceptional comedy, the second for its excellent drama. The two-part episode "What's my Line" was not one of my favorite episodes, but a scene from it caused me to laugh out loud at this show for the first time, the scene where Xander and Cordelia start making out. Their whole relationship was funny. Some people didn't think it worked, but I thought it was great. However, the downside of this episode is the character Kendra. She was way too wooden, and her accent was horrible. The two episodes "Surprise" and "Innocence" chronicled Angel's loss of his soul and his return to being a vicious killer. I have to say, Angelus is definitely my favorite villain in the whole series, possibly one of the best TV villains of all time. In "Becoming", the two-part season finale, Buffy loses everything. Her friend Kendra is murdered, she is wanted by the police for said murder, she is expelled from school, and her mother kicks her out of the house. She has to stop Angel from awakening a demon that will swallow the world. She sacrifices him to save the world, after his soul has been restored by Willow. That scene almost brought me to tears. And I'm a guy. A macho guy. And I knew he had his own spin-off series lined up, but still. Buffy then leaves Sunnydale to get away from her calling as a slayer.

This was a huge improvement over the first season. If you read my review of season 1, you know I had some problems with it. The acting, the effects and makeup, and the actions scenes were not very good. They weren't horrible, but they weren't great either. The acting is much better this time around. Anthony Head is brilliant as usual, but Willow, Xander, and Angel's acting has improved a lot. Even Buffy, who ironically is not one of my favorite characters, does a pretty good job. The romance between her and Angel is pretty believable. Contrast that with the relationship between Xander and Cordelaia. Their relationship was funny and enjoyable to watch, but it was not very realistic. Someone as superficial as Cordelia would never have publicly dated Xander. But hey, it's a TV show, not real life.The action scenes are not very well-choreographed in the first few episodes, but they get better as the season progresses. By the second half of the season, they are great. The final fight between Buffy and Angelus (a sword fight) was very entertaining. Everything about this season was almost perfect. There were a few cheesy episodes, such as "Some Assembly Required", "Inca Mummy Girl", and "Go Fish", but, you know, nothing's without a few flaws. Overall, this was a very good season. If you have never seen it, or if you have seen it but just want to own it, buy this DVD.
