While the series maintains its absolute top quality entertainment value there's signs that the writers are getting tired.
This is especially so with their portrayal of Beth, John Dutton's psycho daughter.
Up to now she's been just a straight up nasty piece of work. A character that no one could have any affection for, not even the father, but we all set aside our dislike in the name of cinematic license.
I think the writers have tried to make her more of a dual personality but they have failed in trying to convince us that this type of character has some inner soft heart. The reality is that she is a wrecking ball with no redeeming qualities.
The exaggeration of her wrecking ball tendencies in the corporate world takes the scenes to the wrong side of believability and the show suffers from it a bit. I mean, nobody could get away with behaviour like that in today's world.
Of course this may be seen by others as an asset in her make up.... WTF do I know?
Apart from that minor niggle I am completely engrossed in the unfolding story. The acting, the displays of horse handling and cowboy expertise makes you want to sell your house and move there.
Maybe I could exchange my 33ft lot for a couple of thousand acres there and set up shop. (Yeah right!😏)...
UPDATE 11th Jan 2022 .. you could actually sell your tiny, cramped home in Vancouver B. C. and buy a big chunk of land with a ranchhouse on it close to Bozeman, and have money left over.. I just looked it up on the internet. What a crazy world.🙄
Costner and the main crew are just the best ensemble cast I've seen since the Fargo TV series , can't wait 'til the next episode.
Enjoy.
