Description:
As with the first half of the second season of Angel, the second part moves further into the darkness with only touches of humour relieving the bracing depression. Angel's despairing rage at his failure to save his former love Darla from being turned vampire again dominates the first few episodes here; brilliantly performed by David Boreanaz, our brooding vampire with a soul deprives himself of the human contacts which keep him sane and goes into some dark places both in his soul and the gloomy LA he inhabits. Meanwhile, his former comrades continue to fight the good fight against evil even though their only super-power is Corde
As with the first half of the second season of Angel, the second part moves further into the darkness with only touches of humour relieving the bracing depression. Angel's despairing rage at his failure to save his former love Darla from being turned vampire again dominates the first few episodes here; brilliantly performed by David Boreanaz, our brooding vampire with a soul deprives himself of the human contacts which keep him sane and goes into some dark places both in his soul and the gloomy LA he inhabits. Meanwhile, his former comrades continue to fight the good fight against evil even though their only super-power is Cordelia's progressively more painful visions, coping with families of corrupt magicians, fire-breathing demons and zombie cops, but living on borrowed time. In an episode that lets Charisma Carpenter rediscover her comic roots, Cordelia finds herself settling accounts with her former friend the vampire Harmony; the evil lawyer Lindsay discovers the limits to his corruption and a sort of redemption. And in a four-part finale, the group's friendship with the green karaoke demon Lorne sends them off to his home dimension to rescue Cordelia, right wrongs and acquire an important new character... --Roz Kaveney
