Love and hate just work together better.

Summary:

  • Yellowstone ’s characters are mostly complicated and evoke conflicting emotions.
  • One of the most hated characters is Monica Dutton.
  • Despite all the hatred, fans of the show still hope she will be rewarded at the end of it.

Taylor Sheridan ’s Yellowstone is one of the most popular westerns out there. The first season of the show was released in 2018 and since then became a must watch for the fans of the genre.

The universe of the show is quite huge, with several spinoffs like 1883 and 1923. The prequel shows help the audience to understand some of the complicated stories that are always going on with the Dutton family and the others.

The show is packed with many different characters, and fans are having a hard time appreciating some of them.

For example, there’s of course John Dutton, brilliantly portrayed by Kevin Costner, who is maybe the most controversial character of all. He is the main guy in the series, but that doesn’t make the audience like his personality or even root for him.

However, there’s another Dutton who the fans seem to feel even strongly about, and it’s Monica. Before becoming a Dutton, Monica was a Long, and only after marrying Kayce she became a part of the toxic family. However, after some time they parted ways, still she was left being a Dutton.

It’s actually strange how little sympathy the character got from fans over the course of the show despite being through a lot of pain.

“She is the absolute worst character on the show. Whenever she comes on the screen my bf and I go on a diatribe about what a miserable b**ch she is. She’s always complaining about her “swimming pool sized bathtub” and all the nice things the Duttons have, but then she left Kayce because she didn’t know him anymore, but used his name to get the university job and housing,” Redditor how-far-weve-come said.

Another fact that annoyed fans about Monica was that it wasn’t clear why the show needed her and even which way her story was heading. It wasn’t until the middle of season 5 that we actually got a hint on how her journey would end, if she finally gets lucky.

Despite the fact that she is so hated, it seems that fans of the show can still find a way to forgive her for being such an unpleasant prude who can only get into trouble, and sincerely wish for her to end up in a successful position.

“Kayce, Monica and Tate inherit the ranch, it’s given back to Broken Rock as it should be and the family lives on the ranch and the ranch is returned to its rightful owners and all is well,” Redditor heedtheunderverse said.

Yellowstone season 5 part 2 will be released in November 2024.
