The Wild Wild West was a western, with SF elements (mostly outlandish gadgets), which is what made it steampunky. Briscoe County is sort of the same thing, only set a couple of decades later.
They seem to actually have a rather good relationship, except that it seems to mainly consist of a huge blind spot on the part of each of them. Considering that they are both fairly insight judges of character, it looks like wilful collusion.
I hadn't thought of it that way, but it wouldn't surprise me. Except that early on (in publishing chronology, not series chronology), in Brothers in Arms, Miles does sort of analyze his mother to Duv. I think it's the only time we see him do that. Which is too bad, actually.
