Watched by Lady Macbeth...
Reign is a highly fictionalized series that follows the early exploits of Mary, Queen of Scots. Mary is an independent and powerful woman who has to contend with changing politics and power plays. But other than Mary, characters like Catherine de' Medici display other characteristics that surely relate to Lady Macbeth's ambition for power and flawless murder plotting.
Dexter centers on Dexter Morgan, a forensic technician specializing in blood spatter pattern analysis for the fictional Miami Metro Police Department, who leads a secret parallel life as a vigilante serial killer, hunting down murderers who have slipped through the cracks of the justice system. He has flawlessly slipped through those same cracks himself-- Lady Macbeth had to have gotten her flawless murder plans from somewhere, right? They both also seem to lack all humanity...
She's the Man is a film that centers on teenager Viola Hastings who enters her brother's school in his place, pretending to be male, in order to play with the boys' soccer team after her team gets cut. Viola can certainly vouch for the fact that Lady Macbeth isn't the only woman saying "unsex me now"!

Maleficent had an idyllic life in a forest kingdom as a young woman with a pure heart. Maleficent rises up to become its fiercest protector, and a terrible betrayal hardens her heart and twists her into a creature bent on revenge. Not all villains are purely terrible, and I'm sure Lady Macbeth can sympathize with Maleficent and her corruption.
