Lady Macbeth totally watched eleventh century television....

The first show I would recommend is Dirty Jobs. Yep, that's right boys. I like to get down and dirty. I love this show because it explores the most gruesome and dangerous jobs on the planet, and I'm all about getting gruesome and dangerous, especially when my husband can't. One thing that I don't like is how women hardly ever do any of these jobs. If I was on that show I would show those sissy boys how to get the job done.

The next show I would recommend is Desperate Housewives. These girls know how to get sassy and keep it classy at the same time (#keepmurderclassy). They get into all sorts of sticky situations full of drama and secrets so in a sense they are a lot like me and my hubby, Macbeth. However, sometimes they have psycho lady fits, and I am all about staying poised in all situations.

My next recommendation would have to be Transparent. This is a show about a 70-year-old father of three who decides he is a woman named Maura. Now he's got some balls (or lack thereof, I suppose). I love watching the struggles he faces, and I say more power to him! I must admit when you feel like you can do something better than the opposite sex but societal conventions hold you back I too have desired to be un-sexed. I think in a few years gender roles will subside, and by the twelfth century women and men alike will be able to act however they please without having to worry about societal norms.

My last recommendation is Nashville. This is about a fading country star, Rayna Jaymes, who comes into conflict with Juliette Barnes, an up-and-coming young country star whose record sales have been very high. I. LOVE. Juliette. Barnes. She is just full of the desire for power and fame (I hear you girlfriend!) and although she is young and unestablished, she's willing to do whatever it takes to become successful. She is feisty and does not apologize for her actions, using a vindictive attitude just like mine to make sure she stays on top of the country scene. Just look at how she handles business without even dropping a tear (it's even got subtitles for all you foreigners out there): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Op7hxnvwsc

Happy watching! From yours truly - Lady Macbeth
