1. Scandal- A popular show on Netflix, Scandal is an intense drama that tells the story of a powerful team of lawyers who work for government officials. They are cased to clean up an official's dirty past and protect them from exposure to the public. The lawyers jobs are to protect the government officials public image and hide anything wrong they may have done. This would be a perfect show for Macbeth because he has a terrible past and rose to power by killing King Duncan. He might have watched this show to get tips on how he could hide his evil actions, and as something he could easily relate to.
2. Limitless- This movie is an intriguing thriller in which a poor author finds a pill that allows him to use 100 percent of his mind. Once he used the drug, he became immensely addicted and took more and more in order to become successful and rich. Eventually, he discovered that the drug caused him to have black outs where he committed awful crimes such as murder. Despite this discovery, he was so corrupted by power that he continued to use the drug. Macbeth would watch this movie because the main character is very similar to him. Despite knowing the consequences of their actions, both characters continue to pursue riches and power. They are consumed with greed and will sacrifice others as long as it facilitates their success. Once honorable men, they became corrupted the more powerful they became.
3. Breaking Bad- A fantastic TV show, Breaking Bad tells the study of a high school chemist, Walter White, who becomes diagnosed with terminal cancer. He has no money and becomes desperate for a way to save his family for poverty after he dies. His desperation leads him to team up with a former high school student of his to cook meth. The more he gets into the meth business, the more ruthless he becomes. Macbeth would enjoy this show because it essentially chronicles the path he took to reach power. He was originally a trustworthy man who compromised his integrity a little bit at a time until he became a terrible dictator. In Breaking Bad, White was once an innocent teacher who became a drug lord as he sacrificed more and more of his integrity in the pursuit of power. The two gave up their integrity because they became so consumed by greed.
4. Sons of Anarchy- The Sons of Anarchy is a great show about a biker gang trying to avoid getting caught by the law while they pull out of their illegal businesses. Clay, one of the main characters and former leader of the gang, killed Jax Teller's father to gain control of the Sons. He fooled all the other members and even became close with Jax until he discovered the truth. Clay was very corrupt and killed Jax's father because he was so corrupted by greed. Macbeth would most likely watch this show because he shares many similarities with Clay.

Macbeth killed Duncan, and like Clay, killed many other people and friends to cover up his actions.
