I started Ted Lasso a little over 2 weeks ago and I just started season 3 today. I’m just wondering why Nate has become such a villain. He had one good call made for the game against Spurs then accidentally word vomited out wonderkid in the post match interview. He claims that Ted will take all the glory, which I haven’t seen him do. Did I miss something? Does it have to do more with his Dad being so indifferent to him having some success? Or is he truly that in love with the attention he was getting for that brief period which he now craves? Any help will be appreciated!
I’ve watched this show through more times than I can count and this is one of the most beautiful breakdowns of Nate and his struggles through seasons 1 & 2. So thoughtful and perfect in a way I could never have properly articulated like you did. Thank you!
