[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most of us were a bit worried about Nate when Rupert was love bombing him to come to ManU.  I wouldn't have really had a problem with Nate leaving Ted's team for a better position, if it hadn't been for the awful things he was saying about Ted as and after he was doing it.  I resented Nate's comments; they were so small of him when Ted was the hand up to Nate becoming more than just a towel boy.  To spit back in the face of that was wrong, to me, whatever promotion decisions he was making, as was his right as team coach.

I've never written about Nate as a villain on this board, but some of his actions, to me, have been morally wrong.  Sure, move teams.  [b]But don't belittle the guy who believed in you when you were nothing[/b].[/quote]

Not endorsing Nate's behavior, but I think Ted Lasso would say that no one is ever "nothing" and everyone deserves to be believed in.[/quote]

I don't think there's a less interesting storyline/character on any show I've watched in the last 10 years than Nate. Keeley too, but especially Nate.[/quote]

I like Nate’s storyline because it’s so different from the usual plots. [/quote]

+1, Nate's storyline upends a lot of predictable sitcom tropes, in my opinion. I have never really known where that story is going and it's surprised me several times but in ways that feel earned.

I agree that Keeley's storyline is pretty dull, between the Roy-Jamie love triangle and now that relationship with a woman... it feels pretty tired. Even the story arc of Keeley becoming more financially independent and professionally successful as she stops being just a "footballer's girlfriend" and begins living her life for herself just feels very tired.[/quote]

+1. If I wanted to watch people who are abused by their parents, like Nate, but never grow out of the hurt and destructiveness, then I'd watch Succession. Well I do watch Succession. But I like that Ted Lasso is different because it shows Nate learning self-acceptance and starting to appreciate or even love others.[/quote]
