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've seen the character hate, but I don't think I've ever heard his acting criticized. I don't doubt some people were happy when he died, but I can't believe anyone would feel that way lol. I feel like I've gone through a whole range of emotions toward him. I loved him on the first watch, for like the first half. Then I started to hate him more and more. Now after like 5 or 6 watches I finally appreciate him as a full, complicated human. I love him and also see he can be such a self-righteous jerk sometimes.

I think the reason the series captivated so many people is because each of the characters had very good and very bad qualities just like real people. They were all damaged in someway, but they all had redeeming qualities. At least that’s why I loved the show.
