Lady Macbuffy: A Netflix Queue

1. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
No one loves a powerful female lead more than Lady Macbeth so when she heard about Buffy she immediately added it and Angel to her list. As with anyone who watches the show, it became an instant favorite of hers. She came for Buffy, but stayed for Willow. In Willow she saw a younger version of herself, a strong, powerful woman who takes crap from no man.


2. Charmed
Three sisters, who are witches. Sound familiar to anyone else? Of course Lady M is down for a prophecy anytime, anywhere, but she'd like to know a little more about this whole magic thing she's getting herself into. When the 4th sister was introduced in Charmed Lady Macbeth couldn't help but wonder if she was a little weird herself.
   

3. Grey's Anatomy
Crazy didn't just hit Lady Macbeth like a train, there was a period before she went bonkers where she knew she was going insane. So in an attempt to self-diagnose she started watching Grey's. If she wasn't crazy before all of the blood and the drama might just have pushed her over the edge.


4. Marco Polo
While stumbling through the many options on Netflix Lady M stumbled upon this Netflix original gem. Marco Polo a historical drama about Marco Polo in the Mongolian empire in the court of Kublai Khan the founder of the Yuan dynasty. While watching this 1 season hit Lady Macbeth noticed something intriguing, it was her life. The most interesting character was not a man but instead Empress Chabi, the wife to the Khan. Not only was she just as demanding as Lady Macbeth she also uses the power of suggestion to "encourage" her husband to maintain the crown through murder.
