I admit I DNF'd Deadwood because it was so painfully 3edgy5me mantasy and didn't respect the audience enough to understand that people swore differently 150 years ago, but even in the one or two episodes I saw, god anon, you're right, she sucked. Or at least I should say, their portrayal of her sucked. Isn't she supposed to be an experienced scout and gunfighter at this point? None of that seemed to matter, all I remember her doing is weeping and losing to the Big Bad so the Male Heroes can show how cool and manly and awesome they are when they beat him.

Tbh though that's just how """"""""badass""""""" female characters got treated back in the day in mantasy media (maybe they still are, I've stopped consuming the genre): the only purpose their supposed fighting skills serve is the tell-don't-show wallpaper background of making a male character look cooler/eviler when he wins.

Yeah, that’s a lot of what I’m feeling. The clumsy puppy-adoration of Wild Bill and then raging-crying after his death, but in a way I struggle to find emotionally affecting at all. Plus, as you say, she’s meant to have real skills, but has failed to show anything impressive so far besides a supposed knack for nursing (which mostly seems to be basic patience and an immunity to smallpox).

I knew the general deal when I went in and was expecting a lot of that genre baggage, but somehow this still unpleasantly surprised me.

I find I’m mainly in it for some side characters, so I don’t know how long I’ll find them reason enough to stick with it.
