Nate is and will always be my least favorite character. Because the team was so harsh towards him in the first season, I’ve tried to maintain a level of sympathy for him but i can’t.
We all know what he did to Ted was absolutely terrible, but I’d also like to talk about how he used Will as his personal punching bag. I think it’s definitely “full circle” in the sense that he’s now mean to the kit man because people were mean to him, but he was so awful to a kid who was harmless and wanted nothing but the best for the team. He’s incredibly power hungry and egotistical i can’t stand it. He was forgiven far too quickly by the team and by Ted for everything that he had done. and while I understand that Ted is always kind because he doesn’t know what a person may be going through, Nate exploited and exposed Teds mental health struggles for his own personal gain. that’s unforgivable, in my opinion.
Another thing I find weird is Jade and Nate. Jade immediately rejects nate and makes it very clear that she isn’t interested, and then somehow ends up dating him? I didn’t really enjoy their plot and I didn’t think it was natural. It felt very weird and forced.
what are everyone’s thoughts?
No one is wishing he got an unhappy ending, that’s not what I’m saying at all. I’m simply saying that the things that he did, not just to Ted but to the people around him, are things that I personally could not look past.
Also, while you may feel that you have the one and only accurate interpretation of Ted Lasso, don’t forget that I am allowed to interpret the show differently than you. and therefore I’m allowed to like or not like whomever. That doesn’t mean my interpretation is wrong, it just means that it’s different. Everyone in this reddit has varying favorite and least favorite characters.
Hurt people hurt people. When somebody is acting like a jerk, look for what’s hurting and forgive them.
This is literally the whole point of this show.
