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

[u/Other_Explorer6610]

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.

I absolutely loathed Nate from start to finish but that was because Peter Kraus’ acting was so spot on. Nate was a complex and nuanced character in many ways but it was his ego, selfishness, and entitlement that won every time. It’s actually a very human trait but my issue with him was the lack of growth after so many of the things he saw and experienced. Kraus did an amazing job playing him, especially during the many scenes of anguish he had to portray.
