Calamity Jane kind of ruins the series

I just got into this show. I have to agree. The character is cringeworthy, and annoying. I guess I got more used to her about halfway through season 2, but her voice and buffoonery made me give Deadwood a 9 rating instead of a 10. Otherwise, I love this show.

She had no character arc, imho I think that's what hurts the portrayal for the most part but for me I found her entertaining at least. Her counterpart, Charlie Utter though got on my nerves. I don't know why but he seemed to be a bigger Bitch than Jane ever was 

I have to agree, at first she annoyed me, but then she has turned into one of my favorites. The acting is top notch.

I keep thinking if Jane was a man would that change anything?
Would her drunkenness and swearing and cartoonish self be more normal?
I'm only at episode 1 of season 2 and I too am wondering is it a little too much most of the time?
Is it not a little ridiculous amongst such drama and heartache, like a clown rolling around on a unicycle honking a horn?
Will she ever do anything meaningful?

I wouldn't say that she ruins the series, I have watched all but the last few episodes in spite of her. I would at that I hate every scene she is in and, if I was watching on a TV, I'd fast forward through them. I find them to be really tiresome and uninteresting.

I've heard this criticism many times by now, and am not as surprised at some.

I completely understand their dismay however, because I absolutely LOVE her character. Sure, you need subtitles to understand Wtf she was saying, but same goes for other great characters in other shows (the wire urban Baltimore for ex.)

I do not agree that she'd completely disjoint any flow the episode had going, but agree that her narrative arcs were underdeveloped.

One of my favourite characters, I even wish there was more of her in the show.

No way! One of the best characters in the greatest television show of all time...
