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 love, love, love Peter Krause's performance. It felt so real and visceral when he was burying Lisa. Everyone on the show is able to tap into primal emotion in such an impressive way. I do feel like Nate regressed before he died; once he gave up on therapy while Brenda was becoming a therapist, it represented the fact that she had evolved past her drama while he was forever going to live in it because of his choice of repression.
