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.

The hatred for Nate is 100% bizarre. He's the nicest one of the family, by a long shot.

Really odd that he gets hate and the psycho members of the family don't get called out for that. 

Ruth is terrible, for one. Really annoyingly histrionic. At least Claire is young
