Now in the middle of Buffy season 2. Even though there are great episodes later that exceed it

Surely you jest?

Well, the season 4 finale 'Restless' comes to mind, and 'Once More With Feeling' from season 6, but generally the best of later years tend to be individual episodes, while season 2 was the most consistently well written and watchable as a whole.

Agreed, with Season 3 as a close second (though season 6 is my second-favorite season, I acknowledge that it's definitely not the second-best).

And outside of "Restless" and OMWF, you've also got "The Body," "Conversations with Dead People," "The Zeppo," "Hush," "Fool for Love," "Tabula Rasa," and a few others that are definitely better individually than any one episode in Season 2.
