The cussin' of Deadwood seems like profanity for profanity's sake at first (look! we're on HBO!) but after four or five episodes it takes on the character of an historical vernacular in a way that simple old-timey lingo couldn't do.
That show has a character that ties for best TV character ever. I'll leave it to you to see who it is. The other parts of the tie, for reference (it's a 4-way split): Malcom Reynolds, Spike, John Locke.
I also get the "everyone's lousy" vibe that you're picking up. Stick with it. The show is way, way, way more complex than that.
