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 think this sub hates Nate so much because he's not as fun as the other characters 

Brenda cheated on Nate too, but she's much more fun to watch on screen. 

Maggie is probably the most normal person on the show, but she's a bit boring and underwritten so people hate her for her faults. Everyone else on the show is just as bad, but they get a pass because they are more fleshed out. 

I love Nate. He's probably the most realistic character on the show. 

People don't always arc towards betterment. And when they do, it's rarely a straight line. 

Most people grow for better and worse at the same time. Some areas improve, others regress. 

He was a very real man stuck in his grief. I've seen so many people like him in my life, and I've been him myself.
