Is Sharp Objects the first mainstream TV show to depict a woman as a loser?

Started watching this and the main character is broke, has no friends, is an alcoholic and drives drunk in an unbelievably shytty car, literally staying in a room in her mom's home.

She wears the same clothes and when she tries to wear something else, it's too small for her and it rips because she's too overweight to fit in it. On the episode I'm on her mom basically tells her sister "if you don't listen to me you'll end up like that :hhh: "

I can't think of another show on TV that depicts a woman as a lame failure that isn't meant to be comedic.

Jessica jones owns her own business and can break through concrete like the fukking hulk. She's just cosplaying a loser.
yea but "broke, has no friends, is an alcoholic and drives drunk in an unbelievably shytty car" describes Jessica Jones to a T

Gillian Flynn wrote half of the movies in this thread FYI lol

Also, I haven't seen it, but I think the tv show about a blind chick, she's a piece of shyt based on the trailer
