Upcoming Yellowstone

I can't count how many people I know who's favorite character was Beth. I know this will hurt, but your opinion of the show means absolutely nothing to anybody but you.

Yeah mainly women.
I never understood the narrative that Beth was the hero and Jamie was the villain.
Jamie was used by John and was pushed away from the family by Beth's crazy vendetta against him.
Also never really got peoples infatuation with Beth and Rip as a couple.
Rip was really no more than a Luca Brasi to John's Vito Corleone as he was groomed by John for that role from a boy.
Then you have Beth who's a mentally unhinged alcoholic.
To me the only way a Beth/Rip spinoff works is to continue the same plot lines of season 5 pt 2.

Spot on. Jamie was set up as a villain for Beth's sterilization but where was John and where was Rip? And the mom was the reason Jamie was even in the family and Beth got her killed.

Nothing was more frustrating in that show than the writers having people allow Beth to run roughshod over them. As I pointed out before, she was like Negan. Even Kelly Reilly herself called her a monster.

I know all guys that think she was funny. There are clearly people here that take “mental health” way too seriously, even in a freaking TV series. Yikes. Im out . Enjoy the thread.

It's all good.
Everyone's going to have their own take on the characters.
I can see the amusement in Beth's over the top antics but I think she became less amusing with each season.
I don't think any character actually had good mental health from living in the bubble that was Yellowstone Ranch.
