I feel extremely inadequate for this blog post because I highly doubt any of the characters in MacBeth would fancy One Tree Hill or How I Met Your Mother, but I will try..
Lady MacBeth's most recommended:
1. Orange is the New Black: Netflix's summary of OITNB says "a privileged New Yorker ends up in a women's prison when a past crime catches up with her..." Lady MacBeth begins to watch this show when she starts to feel the guilt of her husband's and her crimes. She is worried that her actions will come back to her and she will be incarcerated. Lady MacBeth watches this show in apprehension of her future as well as to know what to expect if she is given similar consequences. She sees the horrors done in the show which drives her to commit suicide to avoid ever having to experience the same things that the characters do.
2. Scandal: This show is about a group of people who work to get high profile people out of trouble by covering up their crimes and scandals(summary creds to my personal television expert, Kristin Heyward). When Lady MacBeth decides she's going to trick her husband into killing King Duncan, she realizes that she needs to know how to cover up the deed. She begins to watch this show originally to analyze how the characters cover up the scandals they encounter. As she watches, she begins to realize more and more the kind of life this road will take her on and begins to be a little paranoid.
3. Criminal Minds: Netflix defines this show as an "intense police procedural follows a group of extraordinary FBI profilers who spend their days getting into the minds of psychopathic criminals." This show interests Lady MacBeth because they say "it takes one to know one," but the opposite is also true: "to be one, you have to know one." Lady MacBeth derives some of her manipulative tactics based off of the psychopaths she witnesses on the show. She uses these to convince MacBeth to change his whole life to fit what she wants.
4. Dexter: Dexter is a show about a well-mannered man who works for the Miami police but works as a serial killer by night, killing other serial killers. Lady MacBeth adores this show because she relates highly to the character of Dexter. They both have a need to appear proper during the day, but when they are alone, they commit evil deeds that they see as justified. Lady MacBeth believes that her crimes are justified because she's meant to have this immense power. She also knows that if she can convince her husband that his actions would be justified by the supernatural, she can get him to agree to going through with killing King Duncan.
...just realized I could've done movies too... woops. Oh well. Just goes to show I need to watch more television.
