I think both characters work as a good social critique.
In the books Cersei was defacto queen and messed up in spades, making Joffrey look like a gentle soul in the process.
Hell, she did in the show as well. Appointing unqualified sycophants to the small council, pushing away her Uncle Kevan (who is the most qualified person in the damn family besides Tyrion), establishing and arming the Faith Militant and throwing her son's wife and brother-in-law to them. She's a shitstorm of bad decisions and smug paranoia.
