Charmed: The Complete Second Season finds San Francisco's favorite and fetching trio of witches, the Halliwell sisters, still battling supernatural forces while trying to make sense of their tricky personal lives. It has been a year since Prue (Shannen Doherty), Phoebe (Alyssan Milano), and Piper (Holly Marie Combs), were each endowed with a unique, magical ability after discovering the Book of Shadows in their attic, and while Phoebe and Piper are in the mood for celebrating, Prue is emotionally incapable of using her telekinetic gifts. Powerless to have saved her ex-lover, Andy Trudeau (Ted King), from death in season 1, Prue's grief prevents her from cooperating with her sisters in a battle against a demon who steals the all-important Book.
That's just the beginning of the Halliwells' otherworldly troubles. The second season finds the sisters also taking on brain-zapping Warlocks, a Demon of Hate, a Darklighter who inspires thoughts of suicide among the living, evil witches, and--get this--the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, who turn out to be quite dapper (albeit nasty) fellows. Meanwhile, Piper struggles to raise $60,000 to open a happening new club (at a site where two other clubs have failed) while also juggling romantic feelings for two guys, one a hunky new neighbor and the other last season's handyman character, Leo (Brian Krause), who turns out to be a Whitelighter (a kind of an angel). Prue's job at the art gallery gets a bit wobbly, and she gives unintentionally mixed signals to a very nice man who likes her a lot. Phoebe, for her part, is still in school and meets a handsome prospect at a dating service--then has to save him from a succubus (a female demon who seduces men and then kills them). Season highlights include the episode "She's a Man, Baby, a Man," in which Prue--due to a botched spell--becomes a man (a clever and funny performance by Doherty). In a reversal of Tootsie's feminist theme, Prue learns how to be a better woman for having a been a man, though a lot more repairs take place at the house while she's a he. "Animal Pragmatism" concerns yet another spell gone awry, this one turning a pig, a rabbit, and a snake into full-grown men with the characteristics of the creatures they were. The final show, "Be Careful What You Witch For," is a lot of fun, co-starring French Stewart as a genie who makes a lot of mischief at the same time the sisters are trying to put a Dragon Warlock in his place. --Tom Keogh
Description
The discovery that they are descendants of a long line of witches finds three sisters battling demons and warlocks - and occasionally each other. When the beautiful Halliwell sisters inherit a house from their grandmother and discover a secret "Book of Shadows," they learn that they each have a unique power. The strong-willed Prue (Shannen Doherty) can move objects, reserved Piper (Holly Marie Combs) is able to freeze time, and the uninhibited Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) sees the future. Individually, each is strong, but it is only by putting aside their differences and banding together as the "Power of Three" that they will be able to protect the innocent and vaquish evil. Each exciting episode in this richly layered series is a supernatural adventure brewing with suspense and humor.

Charmed Charges Into Season 2!!,
By lenzino7383 "BigBlue" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Charmed: Season 2 (DVD)
Now after the success of the first season, Charmed's second season picked off exactly where it left off!!!! This season is actually more laid back than the first, as it is more light-hearted!!! But there is still a lot of drama and suspense this season, it's just not as intense as the first!! This season's new characters: Dan and his neice, Jenny who move in next door!!! This season includes the Piper, Leo, and Dan love triangle!!! But who will Piper chose..??? Prue makes a career change and Phoebe goes back to college!!! Here is season 2:Witch Trail-Good Episode!!! "It's the sisters' 1st anniversery since they've been witches when a demon named Abraxas steals the Book of Shadows!!!" This was a good premiere, we get to see old demons return, and seeing Prue still dealing with Andy's death was sad and understandable!!! Piper also gets her own club, P3!! Morality Bites-Amazing Episode!!! "When Phoebe has a premonition of her execution in 2009, the Charmed Ones travel into the future to find out what happened and find some shocking changes!!!" This is definatley one of the best episodes of Charmed!!! The ending almost made me cry when I first saw it!! The Painted World-Good Episode!!! "Prue gets trapped inside an old painting, while Phoebe casts a spell to make herself smart!!!" This episode was very original, and it had a nice twist!! We see Phoebe's fighting skills for the first time!! The Devil's Music-Weak Episode!!! "The Charmed One must stop a music manager who is giving innocents to a demon!!!" I just recently saw this episode on TNT and it was one of the worst episodes this season!!! She's A Man, Baby, A Man-Great Episode!!! "Prue becomes a man so the Charmed Ones can stop the Succubus from killing single men!!!" This episode is just funny, Shannon as a man was just hilarious!!! Piper begins to like Dan!!! That Old Black Magic-Good Episode!!! "The Charmed Ones must help a teenage boy defeat a 200-year-old evil witch named, Tawatha!" This episode was refreashing, the sisters needing help from an innocent!!! We meet Jack, Prue's new co-worker!! They're Everywhere-Good Episode!!! "Phoebe must help Brendon and his father from the collector warlocks, while Prue and Piper cast a reading minds spell!!" This episode was the usual save the innocent episode, with some funny sisterly interaction!!! P3 H2O-Great Episode!!! "When Prue witnesses a death at a Camp's lake, the sisters are forced to deal with the demon that killed their mother 20 years ago!!" We learn about Sam, their mother's whitelighter, and how they were in love!!! This storyline continues into Season 4 were we learn even more!!! Ms. Hellfire-Great Episode!!! "When the Charmed Ones are attacked by an assassian, Prue takes the identity of assassian to find out who was behind the attack!!!" Prue gets a new power:Astral projection, Antonio Sabato, Jr. guest stars, and Barbas returns!!! Heartbreak City-Weak episode!! "The Charmed Ones must help Cupid stop a demon named Drowsy from destroying the love of couples!!" This was a little too cutesy but the scene where Cupid tells how many guys Phoebe has been with was so funny!!! Reckless Abandon-Great Episode!!! "The Charmed Ones must protect a baby from a ghost who is killing off the men of a rich family!!!" This episode is very light and very dark!!! The way the ghost, Elieis is vanguished was refreshing!!! Awakened-Amazing Episode!!! "When Piper becomes ill because of a deadly disease, Prue and Phoebe casts a spell to save her only to cause deadly consequences!!!" This episode is also a Charmed best, The ending was emotional!!! Prue decides to quit her job at Bucklands, Phoebe decides to go back to college, and Leo becomes mortal!!! Animal Pragmatism-Weak Episode!!! "Three of Phoebe's classmates casts a spell that makes three animals human!!!" This was probably the worst episode of the season, the plot was pretty good, though!!! Pardon My Past-Great Episode!!! "When Phoebe is haunted by the events of her past life, she goes back to that life to find out some shocking details." This episode was amazing, our 3 leads acted well in the 1920s setting, and Antone made for a great villain!!! Give Me A Sign-Good Episode!!! "When Baine is attacked by a demon and escapes from jail, he kidnapps Prue in hopes of her helping him!" Antonio Sabato, Jr returns and this is the first time we hear about the Source!!! Prue wants to become a photographer, and Piper decides to be with Leo, like we didn't see it coming!!! Murphy's Luck-Great Episode!!! "When Prue casts a spell to help a famous woman, she becomes the new target of a darklighter!!" It was sad seeing Prue so depressed due too Shannon's great performance, and Leo gets his wings back!!! How to Make a Quilt Out of Americans-Pretty good episode!!! "When the sisters' Aunt Gale comes over, they have no idea that she needs their powers for a deal with a demon!!" I feel bad for Aunt Gale, it's too bad they couldn't save her!!! Chick Flick-Great episode!!! "The Charmed Ones must stop the Demon of Illusion who is making movie charaters real!!" This episode, while corny, was very original and entertaining!!! All the horror movie situations were funny, and all 3 actresses played it off well!!! Ex Libris-Weak episode!!! "Phoebe must help her dead classmate, Charlene, while Prue must help a depressed father find justice for his daughter's murder!!!" Piper meets Leo's old wife!!! The main plot dragged but I liked how they used Charlene to make the murderer confess, it was a nice touch!!! Astral Monkey-Great Episode!!! "Dr. Williamson, Piper's doctor during her deadly illness, accidently gets all of the sisters' powers, causing him to go insane!!!" This episode is very dark, which Holly gives an amazing performance and seeing Dr. Williamson transformation was very disturbing! Apocalypse, Not-Good Episode!!! "When Prue and War, one of the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse get trapped in a vortex, Piper and Phoebe must chose whether to save their sister or the world!" The 4 horsemen could have been great villains but they are underused!!! The sisters also learn that there are more important things then saving a sister!! Be Careful What You Witch For-Pretty good episode!!! "When a Genie appears to the Charmed Ones, he grants them 3 wishes that leave horrible consequences!!" This was a good episode, but weak finale!! Piper and Leo go up to meet the bosses upstairs, which this will continue into next season!!! Season 2 was a good season that sets up greatly for Season 3, one of the best seasons ever!!! So enjoy the dvd when it comes out and re-live the Golden days of Charmed!!!

Charmed 2 is Here - Hurrah,
By livvie (Toronto, Ont) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Charmed: Season 2 (DVD)
Finally - it was supposed to be released in Feb, but that is moot. Okay, I loved the first three seasons of Charmed, and I enjoyed the second more than the first, and the Third better than the second. But this is about the set of season 2.1: MUCH smaller box. Why, because they decided to put 2 disks in one box. This is really the cause of 4 stars instead of five. I like consistancy, and with Season one in 6 cases, it looks weird on my shelf. no reason to be 3 cases, especially that it doesn't make it cheaper - it's actually more expensive. (when I bought season 1 it was 39.00, while this is 43.00. I'm a student, those actually make a dif.) 2: Sound quality A-Ok, picture quality great not as grainy in Night scenes as season 1. 3: still no extras. that's okay. I understand why, there will probably be none until season four, so they don't have to deal with the Shannen issues. (I'm fine w/no extras. extras mean more money LOL) If you like the show, I'd get it. Im enjoying it right now.
