William Somerset (Se7en)

William Somerset is the detective who solves the case — and still loses.

A week from retirement, Somerset is pulled into a pursuit that forces him to confront a terrifying question: does understanding evil actually help stop it?

He investigates crimes like a philosopher with a badge, searching for meaning in a world that seems determined to prove there isn’t any.

Fans say that weary realism makes Somerset the ultimate professional.

Critics argue the GOAT detective shouldn’t sound this exhausted.
