Video: Despite Dark Subject Matter, TRUE DETECTIVE and SE7EN Are Optimistic

Michael from Lessons From The Screenplay is back with a new video essay, and this time he's looking at the way objectively dark stories like True Detective and David Fincher's Se7en are actually stories imbued with optimism. The essay dives into the psychology of the protagonists of both stories, establishes the connecting theme between them, and explores the impact the partners have on taking the characters on a journey of change. As is the case with all of Michael's videos, this one is definitely worth a few minutes of your time.
