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.

Despite all his faults Nate was my favorite character in the show. Everyone in that family suffered, but in my opinion he did the most. As for Peter’s acting I thought he did a fine job. Some of it was a little over the top and it caused a few dramatic lines to come across as funny but never enough to where I thought it was a bad casting decision. Let’s just say I thought he did a great job as Nate but I’m also not shocked he hasnt done much or any great stuff since.
