Fantastic character -- not entirely flattering portrait -- in Pete Dexter’s novel - “Deadwood”...... I never saw the series (w Ian McShane), but my understanding was that alot of the dialogue was profanity. The novel , not so much .... so am guessing the series was very loosely based on the novel. Read the novel.
