Top Picks for Lady Macbeth

1) Scandal 

This t.v series is perfect for Lady Macbeth as many of the characters possess the same traits as Lady M. "Scandal" is an intense drama pertaining to the life of a professional "fixer" and her unconventional staff. Olivia Pope(Kerry Washington) works tirelessly to protect the images of our nations elite. After leaving the White House, Olivia opened her own firm, hoping to disassociate herself from various troubles such as her family and shocking affair with the President. It slowly becomes apparent that these troubles will take a lot more fixing to completely disappear. Lady M. would love this show as Olivia conveys the strong, independent, powerful woman that Lady M. aspires to be. These power hungry qualities are displayed when Lady M. persuades Macbeth to kill King Duncan in order to become the Queen. She wants nothing more than to have the level of power that Olivia possesses which is why this show is great fit. In addition, the character Rowan Pope, Olivia's father, directly reflects Lady M. towards the end of Macbeth. Rowan initially has everything; he's powerful, wealthy, and highly feared as well as respected. However, the audience is able to see this character decline in status as he essentially loses almost everything. Lady M. will definitely be able to see herself in this character as her aspirations to become powerful eventually lead to her demise. Scandal is able to convey the hope as well as the reality of Lady M's situation, thus being a show that is highly recommended. 

2) How to Get Away With Murder

We also recommend the hit T.V drama "How to Get away With Murder" for Lady Macbeth. For starters, the title itself is quite ironic in terms of Lady M. convincing Macbeth to kill King Duncan in hopes of no one finding out. Lady M would have loved to watch this series prior to the murder of the King in order to obtain a few tips on how to "Get Away with Murder". The entire series revolves around Annalise Keating, a thriving attorney, who can win almost any case. She is extremely manipulative and will do almost anything to get her way and cover her tracks. This is a direct reflection of Lady Macbeth, as both will do whatever it takes to get what they want. Lady M. would love this show as Annalise is everything that she hopes to be...at first. As the series continues, Annalise begins to spiral out of control as her manipulative actions are beginning to have severe consequences. What began as a series about a successful and powerful woman, turns into a show about a nearly psychotic and hopeless shell of a human being. Overall, Lady M would be able to learn so much from watching this series as she will be able to notice the harsh physical and psychological effects of being a relentless, power seeking person. 

3) Beyond Scared Straight 

"Beyond Scared Straight" is the perfect T.V series for the "sane" Lady Macbeth. This reality show deals with disrespectful teens who are in desperate need of an intervention. The teens are arrested and brought into a jail facility in order to see what jail is really like thus giving them insight on what could happen if they fail to change their negative behaviors. In the midst of being in jail, the teens are yelled at by, both, the inmates as well as the officers. This would appeal to Lady M as she loves power and hates children. Seeing officers intimidate the children via yelling and screaming would bring Lady Macbeth so much joy. This show essentially combines the best of both words for Lady M which is why it would be such as great fit. Throughout the entire show, Lady M would be yelling "YES YES YES!!!" to her television, as the children often cry as a result of the intense confrontations that often happen. Also, Lady M would able to learn how to assert her dominance in a effect manor, like that of the officers with the children. This is definitely something that Lady M. lacks as she is unable to control Macbeth later on in the play. Overall, this series is great for Lady Macbeth to binge on while bossing Macbeth around. 

4) Bridezillas

For our last recommendation, we suggest that Lady Macbeth feast her eyes on the television sensation "Bridezillas". You might be wondering how this show would be of interest to Lady M...? Well, the entire show deals with incredibly bossy women telling their significant others what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. To Lady M, this would be an outstanding show as she thoroughly enjoys seeing women step up and lead the relationship. To Lady M, nothing is better than seeing a woman partake in the traditional male roles and actually standing up and fighting for what they want, when they want it. This series will have Lady Macbeth yelling "aye wench aye (yes girl yes)" as the bride throws plates at her husband-to-be until he starts sending out the wedding invitations. With nearly 30 episodes available, Lady M will be able to watch this show to her hearts content. No need to watch meek and timid women prancing around the television, when you can see such powerful and boisterous women yelling throughout the entire show. Therefore, we highly recommend Lady Macbeth watch "Bridezillas".
