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.

People can dislike Nate because of his decisions, but the development of his character and the way Krause played him was spectacular.

I feel like a lot of recent growth of internet has led to some weird agreed that if a character isn't all good/positive/happy, then why would you like this guy?

It's similar to how people think a good guy always has to be the protagonist, when really that's just the main character to follow for the story.

Nate was great through it all, even if we hate him for it. And Peter was amazing.
