Some fans hate Beverly Goldberg
As strange as it may seem, some fans of "The Goldbergs" really don't like one of the show's leading characters: ostensible family figurehead and matriarch Beverly Goldberg (https://www.looper.com/234506/the-best-beverly-goldberg-moments-on-the-goldbergs/) (Wendi McLendon-Covey). In a discussion post (https://www.reddit.com/r/TheGoldbergs/comments/mpcw34/beverly_goldberg_is_actually_the_worst_character/) on the r/TheGoldbergs subreddit, Reddit user u/throw_havingdoubts1 argued that Beverly is actually the worst character on the entire show.
"She's forever overstepping the boundaries of her children and others ...resorting to manipulation and guilt tactics whenever they try to grow as individuals and gain a sense of independence and then justifying her terrible behavior with some kind of sob story about how she no longer feels needed as a mother instead of just communicating with her children normally," the post reads.
Other users echoed the original poster's scathing sentiments towards Beverly, with many noting their annoyance over the idea that she never seems to grow as a person despite her claiming to have learned her lesson from repeated parenting mistakes. "Hmm, yeah, while Bev is amusing to watch on TV, she is pretty clingy and toxic," u/BlizzardousBane (https://www.reddit.com/r/TheGoldbergs/comments/mpcw34/comment/gu9tcaj/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) commented on the post. "I can't stand how suffocating she is with Adam," wrote u/foldsbaldwin (https://www.reddit.com/r/TheGoldbergs/comments/mpcw34/beverly_goldberg_is_actually_the_worst_character/). "I'm glad Wendy [sic] loves playing Beverly because I wouldn't with the way the writers write her."
Beverly clearly isn't every "Goldbergs" fan's cup of tea, but the show is still going strong throughout its current 9th season and fast-approaching 10th season (https://deadline.com/2022/04/the-goldbergs-renewed-season-10-abc-1234992880/), so viewers are likely to see plenty more of her regardless. Perhaps as her kids continue to grow up, the character will take a turn down a path that redeems her in the eyes of some of these frustrated fans.
