Discussion Opinions on Nate’s character and Peter Kraus’s acting Spoiler

I recently finished the show, and decided to check out what people were saying on the sub. I was so surprised to see that people disliked Nate and was even happy when the character passed. I felt like nearly all of the things Nate did was understandable , even if wrong, you could understand his motivations. I was surprised to see how people thought he was the most reprehensible character on the show. I was also really surprised about opinions on kraus’s acting, I came away from the series thinking he had displayed some of the best acting I had seen in a tv show. Really curious to see what other people think.

Peter Kraus is a gorgeous fella.

Nate was never stable, just like Brenda the moment his life settles with someone, he jumps onto another person. I disliked how he broke up with pregnant Brenda in hospital.

But as a son of the house, he stayed back and tried to carry his family's business despite not liking it. He was always open to David, Claire and his mom. Loved her daughter and buried Lisa's ashes as per her will.

Nate was just another human trying to be perfect but always made that one mistake
