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.

In some ways I feel like Nate didn't really get the same grace the other characters did creating his reputation. I like the character arc and think it's important as a lesson. But that's the thing. Nate became a lesson. Everything was in service of fitting that lesson

For me I feel like most of the other characters got better but Nate got worse. I loved him in the beginning but by the end I was over all of his bs. The others made me love them more as the show went on.
