I hated her SOOO much watching the show the first time and then i fast forwarded her scenes on many of the subsequent rewatchings, but i dont remember when i started to enjoy her.
Or..
Maybe not "enjoy", but i stopped hating her and just let her waddle and curse her way on my TV screen.

It's just plain bad acting. She's a walking cartoon.

You do realize the irony in your statement?

Bad acting?
LOL!
Do you actually think the Character of Jane was supposed to be likable?!

I do wonder if the real Calamity Jane was perhaps less cowardly than sometimes portrayed in the series.

IIRC she only crumbled to Al and Cy, which is kinda understandable since they're top tier dangerous.

I don't knowof course she has been "Hollywood-ized" but I can't see the real Calamity Jane talking to men like that without getting her teeth knocked in.remember, this was the lawless ol' west and I doubt she was as portrayed in the series, telling men off and threatening them.
To be sure, she was a foul mouthed, hard drinking female more like one of the guys but I think she "knew her place" and was not as direct in mouthing off when she knew there was a good chance she'd be knocked out or even shot for daring to challenge men at a time when women didn't have all the protection of the laws that they have today.

I loved the character and I loved Robin Weigert in the role.

It is still too modern American liberal for my taste.

I'm not American so I really have no appreciation of how this concept works in reality.

She was even playing an electric guitar in one scene.

I agree. Worst part of the show and worst actor as well.

It's too modern liberal Hollywood, the performance is clearly revisionism of the highest order.

I just started this show because everyone keeps telling me how great it is. I'm on episode 5 and I love it but Jesus I want to punch the screen every time Calamity Jane speaks, her voice and acting is almost ruining this show for me.

"Ow! I burned my snatch!" - Calamity Jane taking a bath. Enough said.
I look at my red hands and my mean face, and I wonder about that man that's gone so wrong.
