Her character is way overplayed and completely cartoonish throughout the whole series run.

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.

I always preferred "Well, the deputy deputized by the deputy sheriff tells you to SHUT THE beep UP"
She has so many good lines and rants but I feel like a lot of people overlook them because they don't like her character much. -

I could not stand Calamity Jane. Every time she came on screen, I was like "Oh God."
Horrible character. Why? Basically she was an annoying drunk. Nobody likes hanging around with an annoying drunk. Real? Maybe. But just because something is real doesn't mean I have to like it. -

Her face and her voice get on my nerves.

Watching for first time on Amazong Prime, was really hoping Clammy Jane exited the serie at the end of season 1 aftar Wild Bill murder.
Same here. I wanted to skip through her scenes. Her and the preacher were tied for the most insufferable characters of season 1.
I found Jane less annoying in seasons 2 & 3. I don't know if the actress toned it down or if I just got more used to her. Cy Tolliver was the most hated character for me so that may have made Jane more bearable. Nothing against Powers Booth though. He was good.
I wonder if the over-the-top portrayal of Jane was intentional because the character was really afraid and not nearly as tough as she pretended to be. I don't think the actress was bad.

Granted I sort of disliked her but the scene in S2 EP1 when the carriage rides by while she is passed out on the horse, wakes up, says, beep then passes back out is hilarious.

I found Steve the drunk far more annoying and cartoonish.
It really seemed like the actor was wellacting if you know what I mean. His portrayal didn't seem natural to me, mostly when he was going on one of his tirades. I've seen this actor in two other shows (Weeds & Orange is the New Black) and he was really good. Not so much in Deadwood though.

I think for me, the way she speaks just seemed so fake and forced and it takes me out of the moment, like I can see the actress struggling and it all comes out marble mouthed. You can sound drunk, or scared or belligerent or shy or any combination of those things w/o that much affect and strain. Even allowing for her trying to seem more "masculine" or "strong" or not wanting to sound girly, one can lower the pitch of their voice w/o that much strain.
That said, I did end up liking her more by the end. At first she seemed quite cartoonish, and that lasted longer than I anticipated, but she did get fleshed out more. I did like her relationship with Joanie, who I also ended up liking quite a bit.
