Macbeth:
House of Cards - In this show Frank Underwood is trying to become President and will do anything to get there. Just like the main character Frank Macbeth murders and lies to get the highest place of power. Macbeth might also like the fact the Frank does not feel guilt, while Macbeth does.
Narcos - In this show Pablo Escobar is a drug lord in Columbia. Macbeth would recommend this show because Pablo Escobar ruled an entire empire just like what Macbeth was trying to do. He would also enjoy all of the murdering that took place to keep the empire, and empathize with having the empire fall.
Ballers - This show, on HBO, is about two sports agents in Miami trying to recruit pro athletes to their firm, but face competition and other problems. Macbeth would like this show because the main characters have a lot of ambition going up against other big name sports agents who get mad when they take their clients. Macbeth would like this because he is also ambitious trying to become the king.
American Horror Story - In the one about the Circus there's a freakshow and they are facing problems in the town they are located in. There is also a evil clown that is killing people, and some of the members of the freakshow kill a cop. Macbeth would like this show because there is death and a supernatural part to it, where a ghost comes back from the grave.

Question #1
I think that people who are not "evil" take the first step to becoming evil for a multitude of reasons. In general what they get out of the evil act outweighs the weight of that evil act they will then have to carry. For instance, Macbeth initially did not think killing the king would be worth him becoming king but Lady Macbeth talked him into it. I would say that some sort of desperation is involved in taking that first step. They feel like there is no other option so the only way they can better there situation is by doing something evil. The internal consequences could be things like guilt or shame because they would not normally do something like that, like Macbeth would have never thought of killing Duncan had the witches not told him what he had to gain from it. After he did end up killing Duncan the guilt led him to doing other evil deeds, like killing Banquo. For this same reason a lot of times when people start doing evil deeds they continue to do them.
