The Best Yellowstone Character Is Also Its Worst Human Being
If you already have the name on your mind, you're probably right.
Yellowstone has been running for five seasons, but one thing about the show remains unchanged: Beth and the mixed feelings (to put it mildly) that the fandom has about her.
She is, in fact, a rare example of a female anti-hero who, as many have put it, "acts like a man in a man's world". Beth does not seem like a character who could be given a redemption arc; but she does not seem like someone who needs one, being perfect as she is.
However, this does not change the fact that she is probably the worst human being of all the characters in Yellowstone. Even marrying the love of her life and enjoying power does not seem to make her less of a horrible person. Many fans argue that she is a "cartoon villain", but they are immediately confronted with a crowd of Beth defenders who absolutely love to hate her.
Beth's defenders praise her as "tough, hard, damaged", but season 5 has seen even the most dedicated fans give up on her.
"I was so disappointed. Not just at Beth, although I found her to appear almost pathetic and [...] cringe! And for them to recycle that none sense of her ripping apart some guy in a bar again. How uncreative," Redditor _Myster_, who used to actually love Beth, noted after seeing the first two episodes of season 5.
It is possible that fans' concerns about Beth's descent from powerful femme fatale to cringe-worthy mess are coming too soon. Season 5 has only just begun, with 14 episodes to go.
