Dexter: Dexter revolves around Dexter Morgan, a forensic scientist and serial killer who rectifies crimes by killing those who committed them. Neither Macbeth nor Dexter can seem to get away from blood, since Dexter analyzes it for a living and Macbeth is haunted by the blood of the people whose deaths he is responsible for. Macbeth agrees with Dexter’s methods of solving his problems: kill people who would be better off dead. Furthermore, both Dexter and Macbeth understand the importance of maintaining a normal facade to continue living their lives as they please.
Marco Polo: This show is about Marco Polo, a trader on the Silk Road, and his adventures in a China ruled by the brutal Kublai Khan. Macbeth likes this show because of the ruthless and conflicted Kublai Khan. This emperor reminds Macbeth of himself and his own personal struggles with his power and actions.
Game of Thrones: In this intense and complex show, various royal families fight each other for complete power over Westeros, a mythical land with technology similar to medieval Europe in the 1400s. Macbeth loves this show because it ascribes to male stereotypes of strong men fighting valiantly for their territory and families. He also enjoys the power struggle seen in the show because it reminds him of his own fight to maintain power.
The Flash: The Flash is a young man who gains superhuman speed when he is struck by lightning and decides to use his powers to fight crime in New York City. Macbeth enjoys the supernatural element in this show, since one of the characters can see and tries to control the future just like the three witches. He also likes that the Flash has to hide behind a mask when he fights bad guys, because Macbeth also has to mask his true self. Lastly, Macbeth loves to see a man saving the day and defeating evil, because it reminds Macbeth of his past when he fought with his comrades to destroy traitors.
