Yellowstone official teaser trailer for new season on Paramount+
*Warning - This article contains major spoilers for Yellowstone.*
Yellowstone fans have jumped to defend Jamie Dutton, played by Wes Bentley, hitting out at the “cruel” way he’s treated during the show.
One fan took a particular issue with the twist that saw Jamie deceived into thinking he was running for Governor.
It comes ahead of season 5, part 2 of Taylor Sheridan’s Western, which will air on November 10.
These final episodes are set to focus on the Dutton children - Jamie Dutton, Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) - as John Dutton actor Kevin Costner decided to depart the show before it ended.
Taking to Reddit, the viewer claimed they “hate” the Paramount+ show in an emotional rant.
Under the username @Due-Surround-9940, the fan wrote: “OMG why they do Jamie like that?? Another Yellowstone WTF moment…..
“Why in the world did they let Jamie think he was running for governor?!! It doesn’t get any crueler than that, now if he offs himself how they gonna feel?!!” they continued, alluding to a possible suicide attempt from Jamie.
“Omg I despise BETH, John, and Lynelle how could they do that?! For crying out loud Jamie leased the property when he could have SOLD it.”
With a string of crying emojis, they added: “I hate this show now fr but imma keep watching.” (sic)
Other fans took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the gut-wrenching scenes, with one reflecting: “People on here often wonder why there are so many Jamie lovers: THIS IS WHY.
“If they gave this guy the occasional win, it would be much easier to hate him and make him the slimey lawyer they're aiming for.
“Instead, all they do is destroy him in scene after scene and I think it has largely backfired because there are soooooo many people I know who watch this show and are like, ‘He's the only character I remotely like and root for.’ Oops.” (sic)
Another fan weighed in: “I can't figure this show out. It seems like they want you to hate Jamie, and you end up wishing he would finally stand up for himself. And they seem to want you to cheer for Beth, and I just want her to get trampled by horses.
“Meanwhile the only characters I seem to like are Kacey and his family, and the show can't figure out what to do with them other than give them an almost comical amount of tragedy.”
A third interjected: “I felt really bad for Jamie in that moment! (As I often do). The guy can just never catch a break and it's depressing to watch honestly.
“Even in the season 5 premiere when John, Beth, and Jamie were riding in the limo, John told Jamie that it was HIM that was supposed to be governor, not John, even though John was against Jamie running for governor in the first place. I don't understand it and I don't think I ever will.” (sic)
Another fan penned: “He is their scapegoat, much of that promoted by Beth. She occasionally has redeeming moments, but she is ruthlessly bent on revenge with Jamie.”
However, one more fan disagreed, arguing: “He’s a weasel, he deserves every bit of agony and hate from that family.” (sic)
Yellowstone Season 5, Part 2 is set to premiere on Sunday, November 10 on Paramount+.
