Speaking as someone who is a Cersei fan, I root for her because she knows how to play the game. As she once said, in these game of thrones you either win or you die, there is no middle ground.
She's not nearly as clever as she thinks she is but she is deliciously evil, thus entertaining to watch. Every drama based show needs a villain and Cersei Lannister is a well-crafted female villain with depth and layers to her character. We do acknowledge she's a deplorable person, though. But in those medieval times, a female coming from a prominent family, especially one who is aiming to be Queen, needed to be strong, cold, calculating, and manipulative. The men were. Cersei is still alive because she is the way she is.
