Dramas with Dark and Full-or-redemption-arcs Heroes
Here is a list of my favorite drama tropes, featuring brilliant, ambitious, and complex heroes who undergo redemption arcs. These main characters often have flawed and troubled pasts and may seek revenge by engaging in a power struggle against a government or other individuals. Furthermore, they may hold the belief that the end justifies the means.
