Yellowstonefans took a moment to pause, and not in a good way, when a glaring plot hole involving Beth and Jamie slapped them in the face. The once-invincible reputation of Taylor Sheridan seemed to wobble, leaving fans murmuring—Is this Vince Gilligan level? Not quite.While Sheridan’s storytelling usually packs a punch, this hiccup had fans questioning the logic behind certain character arcs.
Beth and Jamie’s tangled history became the talk of the fandom, but not for the right reasons. Instead, viewers pointed fingers at inconsistent plotting, and suddenlyYellowstone’sgolden shine felt just a little tarnished.
From Plot Holes to Promotions: Fans Say Taylor Sheridan’s Western Dream Is Losing Its Grip
Yellowstonefans have officially hit their limit. A head-scratching plot hole involving Beth and Jamie left many questioningTaylor Sheridan’s storytelling chops. The moment? Beth magically appears at thetrain station—a secret spot she shouldn’t have known about—just in time to blackmail Jamie.
Cue the confusion: how did she follow him hundreds of miles without being noticed, especially in the middle of nowhere? Fans were quick to point out the implausibility, labeling it another example of the show’s declining narrative quality.
For many, this was the final straw. Viewers compared Sheridan unfavorably toVince Gilligan, whoseBreaking Baduniverse thrived on airtight plots and compelling character arcs. Meanwhile, Yellowstone seems more focused on aesthetics than storytelling.
One fan hit the nail on the head, saying Sheridan’s“filming a vibe more so than a story.”The shift didn’t go unnoticed, with some claiming the writing started unraveling after Season 2.
The frustration didn’t stop at Beth and Jamie. Fans called out other absurdities, like Jimmy improbably finding himself at the center of a love triangle.
Others took aim at Sheridan’s self-promotion, accusing him of turningYellowstoneinto a glorified infomercial for his ranch lifestyle. “We are paying him to promote himself,”one user lamented on Reddit, pointing to branded products and ranch expansions overshadowing the series itself. According to the user:
Give it a minute, I’m sure the spinning horses will catch up… That’s the sad part, isn’t it? That we are paying him to promote himself, while he is delivering a half-assed product we accept, because we were stupid enough to get invested in the bloody characters at the beginning when the story wasn’t bad.
At this point he is milking a dead cow, which hurts me physically, not gonna lie… It hurts even more if you think about how much money he could have made with the show if he had put as much effort into the writing, as he has into the promotion of everything not Yellowstone. It would have been a win-win for everyone involved.
WhileYellowstoneinitially hooked audiences with its gripping drama, fans now feel let down by a show they once loved. With plot holes piling up and character arcs losing their punch, Taylor Sheridan’s grand western dream feels less like storytelling and more like a sales pitch. At this rate,Yellowstonemight be remembered more for its spin-offs than its legacy.
