Season 2 of Felicity not only sees the massacre of star Keri Russell's golden locks (at one point, a minor character refers to the new, short-cropped Felicity as "Chia-Head") but endless turmoil--most of it quite addictive to watch--in perhaps seven or eight overlapping romances. First there's the issue of season 1's cliffhanger. Did Felicity spend her summer with former high-school crush Ben (Scott Speedman) or her dormitory's resident advisor, Noel (Scott Foley), who harbors strong feelings for her? Episode 1 teases us with the answer while laying the bumpy groundwork for our heroine's sophomore year: Felicity has come back to college in New York City as an R.A. in her old dorm, once again sharing a room--much to her discontent--with acerbic Wiccan-punk Meghan (Amanda Foreman). Ben has a part-time job working in a coffee shop owned by Felicity's confidante Javier (Ian Gomez). Noel is sharing an apartment with another Felicity ally, Elena (Tangi Miller), as well as filmmaker Sean (Greg Grunberg), who previously made a documentary focusing on Ben and Felicity's relationship. Tangled connections and shifting loyalties make for a long, involving second year in this drama-comedy from Disney and Imagine Entertainment. Characters fall in and out of love, earn and betray trust, leap before they look, and redeem themselves with powerful acts of forgiveness or faith. Felicity creators J.J. Abrams (writer, Forever Young) and Matt Reeves (director, Relativity) set out to capture the unique contradictions of young adulthood in this show--in particular, clinging to a precise college track while trying to make sense of post-adolescent love and responsibility--and for the most part succeed very well. Sometimes too well: The storylines may become a little redundant, the drama a tad flat with such singular interest in the muddled passions of 19-year-olds. But each episode is sharply written, comically incisive, and never less than watchable. Great special features: Keri Russell's audition, audio commentaries, a never-before-seen pilot, and the Felicity Emmy Parody, i.e., a spoof of the TV show produced for an Emmy Award telecast. --Tom Keogh

1) Felicity   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
Hi there,I live in the netherlands and a year of 6 ago the serie Felicity was on television on dutch tv senders.I watch the serie then and a few months ago i found the first season in the store'sI watch them at home and really wanted the second and thirt season for my own.But they didn't released them in holland. So i looked ion the internet and found the second till fifth season at [...]I can relive my sunday afternoons when i was a teenager thanks to [...]i love the serie :Dgreetings from Holland

2) Great Show   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I love this series. I watched it back in highschool and I was so happy when it came to DVD. Worth watching and makes a nice gift for ages 16-20 year olds.

3) The best season.   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Felicity - The Second Season is by far the best season of the series. Now I can enjoy these well-writtten, wonderfully acted episodes whenever I want. Keri Russel's title character cut her gorgeous locks that season and the rating took a nose dive but I found this season the most fun and heartwarming. Felicity starts to date her high school crush, Ben but they break up because of his unwillingness to commit but by the end of the season, Ben realizes Felicity is the one who got away. My favorite episodes include: Crash, The Love Bug, Help for the Lovelorn, Ben Was Here, The Aretha Factor, and The Biggest Deal There Is. I love and miss this show so much. J.J. Abrams created one of the most honest shows on t.v. I highly recommend it!

4) I got my roommate hooked, need I say more?   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I started watching this show when I was a hopeless nineteen year old, looking for something to believe in. Ten years later, I still look to it to help me out when all seems lost. The writing, casting, and music all seem to pull together just when I need it the most. By the way, as much as I loved Feliciy, Elaina, Julie, Shawn, Ben, and Noel, Megan and Javier were the best surprises! So weird, and yet so much fun! I'm just sad that four seasons were all we got to follow such fantastic characters!

5) Purchased as a Gift   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
My girlfriend is a huge JJ Abrams fan (I think she would leave me for him, if she could), so she loved this show, especially since it was on TV while she was going through college.
