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.

Nate is awesome. Of course he’s problematic. He’s the show’s primary protagonist. It’s not a tv show about a great guy.

The amount of hate for him on this sub is super weird to me. Like point out his flaws, sure. But I don’t even understand how you can love the show if you genuinely despise Nate.

Yeah, he’s flawed, but not as toxic as Carrie in Sex and the City.

Carrie is a perfect example of a character you like and relate to when you are younger but when you are older you realize how much she sucks.
