Looking for recs with unlikeable or deeply flawed women lead characters

[dancesontrains]

My partner mentioned to me a while back that Eleanor Shellstrop from 'The Good Place' is one of the few lead women characters sey've seen who are awful in the selfish and mean way she is; usually they tend to be catty or bitchy (I've not yet finished S2, no spoilers please).

I was wondering what other lead women or girl characters come to mind that fit this dynamic? Hyacinth Bucket from 'Keeping Up Appearances' is the first to come to mind, a stunning performance of deep denial and heavy class pretentions (not sure if this was called something else in the US or other countries). Or on a darker note, Jill from the horror comedy 'Nighty Night' https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0395404/ who is unashamedly vile.

Granted I've mostly been watching stuff with male leads recently, but I was wondering who else there is that fits this unlikeable or deeply flawed niche?

Not sure if you just mean TV, but Hedda Gabler isn't exactly a teensy ray of sunshine. And likeability is in the eye of the beholder, but Wicked's Elphaba and Glinda are certainly deeply flawed.
And not sure if B7's Servalan is a lead or a supporting player, but she is indeed not only awful and selfish but has a literal army to be awful and selfish with. I haven't seen The Expanse but I think Avarasala (sp?) is a bit Servalanish.

I posted this to a community called tv_talk, so I didn't think it was necessary to clarify. But thank you for the recs.
