Beard deduced it was Nate pretty easily. The list of suspects was Beard, Ted, Roy, Nate, Higgins, and Sharon. Beard knew it wasn't him or Ted. Sharon is bound by patient confidentiality, so she's out. Roy expresses his anger face-to-face, and doesn't like Trent. And Higgins doesn't have a bitter bone in his body. Once you eliminate the impossible...
From the first moment we see a lot of petty or downright nasty acts from Nate, but never really pay attention to it because a) it is first played for laughs and later b) Nate is presented as weak, and in dire need of increased self-confidence. During season 2 we also see a lot of moments where Nate isn't taken seriously and other small aggressions towards him. None of these are done on purpose, but they are a large part of the interactions we see that involve Nate. One of the few moments of Nate and Ted together on screen this season is Ted outright laughing when Nate thinks he might be seen as a 'big dog' able to talk to Isaac, for example. It is a very well-done character arc, and I love it. Also wonderfully played by Nick Mohammed.
It's really a tragic example of that kind of spiraling negative thinking. Nate couldn't get Ted's attention because Ted had a lot of his own stuff to deal with, and Nate's insecurity got him believing that it was because Ted didn't value him enough. So he tried harder, but since that was never the problem, Ted didn't respond to it the way Nate wanted and Nate felt abandoned. So Nate tried to convince himself that the problem was Ted -- that Ted wasn't good enough to see his worth, or was actively taking advantage of him. And every time Ted did in fact show that he did value Nate's contributions, Nate's insecurity twisted it into something else -- well, he isn't taking the credit for Nate's play, but obviously that's because he wants to be able to blame Nate if it fails. This kind of downward spiral is a typical presentation of a lot of mental health issues and a talented therapist could easily have taught him coping mechanisms to recognize when he's doing it and stop it from proceeding further. But Nate never went to see Dr. Sharon, now did he? Seasons 1 and 2 are really a masterwork of characterization in this way... I'm glad I could watch them along with you. Thanks for the reactions!
Sam's facial expressions when Akufu goes on his rant are just golden. It's such a, "Well. Guess I dodged a bullet there. Thanks, universe." look. Amazing stuff.
"You Nigerian motherf*cker! You Yoraba trash!" Sam Richardson (Ghanian descent) and Toheeb Jimoh (Nigerian descent) obviously had a blast with this story arc; it added trying jolof rice sometime to my to-do list. :) Sam Richardson accompanies Conan O'Brien on his trip to Ghana which is a super-fun watch, of course. ua-cam.com/video/4cddYFq9ZQk/v-deo.html
One small note - the building Sam chose to start his restaurant is the same one Akufu rented to create the 'fake' one. They're so good at things like that. Oh, and I loved Trent's "My father told the same joke.." Of course Ted loved it. Dads love 'dad jokes'.
That is the sad thing about Nate, that many of us understand his motivations and why he did what he did. Not an excuse at all, of course. So many of his issues go way back to his own problems with his father. That’s what happens when you don’t properly process and heal through your issues, you inevitably spread your shit upon those closest to you - a lesson that Ted learned this season. Looking forward to your season 3 reactions 😊
I like the contrast between Keeley and Nate's arcs at the end of this season. They've always been kind of kindred spirits in this show; they're often dealing with the same things at the same time and have the same fatal flaw of not valuing themselves enough. At the end of season 2, both Nate and Keeley are offered career-altering opportunities (the Rupert aspect aside, head coach of a premiere league football team is a career-altering opportunity), and you see them struggling with how to deal with that in relation to the people around them. I think so much of Nate's behavior in the last two episodes is driven by the fact that he can't allow himself to believe he's deserving of this role, and the pent up frustration at Ted not acknowledging him all season combines with his insecurities about his worth to make him resent Ted as a means of avoiding the conversation of him leaving for a "better" job. Something I've seen a lot of confusion about online is how Nate can't even be happy for the team's success at the end of season 2, but I don't think it's that. I think it's because when he accepts the job from Rupert, Richmond is still teetering between the champion's league and the premiere league, and in his ideal scenario, he's going to be able to act like a dick and then just leave all of them in the champion's league and never see them again (aka: never have to own up to behavior). When Richmond wins the game, it's the confirmation that he's going to have to encounter all these people again next season, and he's not just going to be able to cut and run. Really, really amazing character development with Nate over these two seasons.
Yeah I couldn’t understand why Nate was so angry at Ted and accusing him of things that he didn’t even do. Then it was brought to my attention that he was talking to his dad with all that. This show has so many layers.
You can't fathom (or maybe you can) the sheer amount of angry threats people have made against the character of Nate after this episode across the world. But in some ways, I think that's just an excellent example of how amazing this show is at unfolding character arcs. And even though people are a bit more divided on Season 3 over the first 2, it still does a stellar job on the arcs these characters go through.
LOL. I knew something was up with Nate even before I started watching the show, because my FB feed was mad at Nate. His hair kept getting grayer because in my mind, he was coloring his hair because he felt he wasn't reaching his potential and his opportunities were drying up when we first met him. As the season went on and he because more of a coach, he felt that it wasn't necessary to hide anymore. But this is just what I think was going on with his hair. It will be interesting to see what you think of season 3. Sad to see the state of Roy and Kheely... Great move by Trent Crimm.
The worse part about Nate doing what he did was that had he just been a good guy and told Ted that Rupert offered him the head coaching job Ted would have been happy for him and even celebrated his accomplishment. There was no need to do what Nate did he didn't have to tear Ted down to push himself up.
What's interesting is that before this interaction between Nate and Ted is the first one-on-one interaction they have on screen after Ted apologizes before the Everton match
"Don't twitch that eye at me, get hit by a car!" Lmao - Nates story is one of the best because of how emotional it makes me, I loved him, now I HATE him. Cant wait to see your reactions for next season!
Honestly I have always seen nate and his outburst in this finale as him seeing ted as a sort of father figure based on how Ted cared for him throughout season 1 and first half of season 2. So the second he didnt get the fatherly attention he craved or thinks he needed in that moment all the insecurities and such from his actual father/childhood took root and just was too much for him to process. It is so understandable and tragic but damn he still made me so mad and frustrated watching it unfold. I really do love the show and how it handles things
I could never bring myself to hate Nate. Even he knows it's not really Ted he's mad at. Everything he said to him this episode is what he really wished he could say to his father, but since he couldn't bring himself to do that, he unloaded on the only other father figure he had. Think about how he constantly tried to get his dad's approval but only ever got the cold shoulder. From the breakfast table to the dinner.
Also just a quick clarification for the previous penalties taken in the show. The goalie (keeper) dives completely away from the direction of the ball because they have to predict where they're going to shoot because you don't have time to dive after the player has kicked it.
The difference between Nate and Keeley is that she has always been able to deal with her insecurities or people trying to put her down with confidence because she’s self-assured. Meanwhile, Nate was bullied and put down by his own father, employers and teammates. I am not justifying his behaviour, he should know better than to do what has been done to him, but I can see that his own insecurities and experiences have made him unable to enjoy success, happiness and friendship without self-sabotage. It’s actually very sad once you pass the rage of what he did.
Ted knows if Nate did that then he must have an ulterior motive. So much of what Nate said would be better directed towards his father. It hurts Ted but he knows Nate is hurting. I don’t know if you noticed the sign as Nate stormed out. “ winners never quit, quitters never win “ !
Nate has issues with his father and sees Ted as a father figure so taking things out on Ted wasn't just about Ted. He had his own problems that he was working out and Nate is a grown man and he shouldn't rely on Ted or anyone else for his own lack of self-confidence.
His father is aware of all he does and criticizes everything and his mother is indifferent to what he does and praises everything making that praise worth less. Nate has never developed that ability to feel internal worth he's still stuck in the same place as a child getting his picture put up on the fridge. That's why he was upset that the gift he got for Ted wasn't displayed in the Office. the same way a child might get upset if their parent takes a picture they drew off the fridge. The child can't separate themselves from the object. It's an extension of them. If the "parent" doesn't appear to hold the object in value then to the child it can be the same as the parent not valuing them.
♥ Higgins & Keeley. We all need someone like one or both of them in our lives! 'weazel wearing a dog hat' - agreed! 'Hurt my feeling' lol 😃 Beard has Ted's back! Isaac with the Believe sign! ♥ Nate is damaged! Football is life! ♥ LoL @ that krazy Akufo's exit 'Trent Crimm - independent' 😃 Sam's restaurant! ♥ ugh Nate! 😡 One more season! 🙂
I love how the scene where Rebecca is eating the biscuit, she doesnt like the taste but understands that his emotions are speaking through the pastry and thus keeps eating... its a cute interaction
I didn’t know this reaction series was an ongoing one, but I’m glad because it brought me back to “Ted Lasso’ that never fails to make me ugly cry and laugh at the same time lol Can’t wait for your reaction to the rest of the series man! 🫶💛
"I want to be mad, and I AM mad ---- would Ted want me to be in that place? NO. But still, gut reaction is always; get hit by a car, break his kneecap with a baseball bat -.." :'-D YES EDIT: ps. i love trent crimm. and his hair.
If you go back through season 2 the only scene with Ted and Nate alone is in this episode. Great way to thematically create the distance Nate described.
I was also very mad at Nate but his evolution is very complicated and very interesting. I think all of us experienced being in a work environment where we are not valued or seen and we decide to move to a better place but always from a place of wanting to improve and grow, not from resentment and anger where Nate is. Great reaction for the whole season! See what you think about Season 3 😊
While society is gradually learning not to mock mental illness, it might take football fandom a bit longer.... :D > After it was reported in the press that Goram had a mild form of schizophrenia, he was greeted with the chant of "Two Andy Gorams, there's only two Andy Gorams".[22] This chant quickly gained popularity, and became the title of a book documenting humorous football chants.[23] Goram left Rangers at the end of season 1997-98.
I do believe Nate trouble with Ted are just a reflection of his relation with his father. But he cant stand up to he's father yet and so reject all of those bad felling on Ted.
Yeah, no one would "work my ass off getting your attention back" unless there's some childhood trauma behind it, because that's the way a child thinks. His dad really screwed up his attempt at parenting, and parents screwing up lead to screwed up kids.
@@n0body550 well duh! Trent says that his integrity requires him to post the story (fine). That same integrity lasts about two seconds before he goes and breaks a cardinal rule of journalists, you don't reveal your sources without their blessing. It is just a weird unnecessary narrative decision, easily solved by Trent _resigning_ rather than waiting to be fired.
@@rolandcooke He literally says but as a friend, then tells him which shows us he values friendship over his job and he wouldn’t have waited to get fired, as a a man of principle he mos likely went to his boss and told them what he did and the got fired, quite straight forward.
That person who does compilations of reactors reacting to certain scenes should just do a reaction of all of you looking at camera and repeatedly saying some variation of "Fuck You Nate"! because it's always funny to see when you turn on Nate.
I'm not on Nate's side by any means, but I can't help but wonder how none of those around him saw his spiralling. Nate's behavior is the result of small things festering and he should have tried talking to Ted or Sharron about his feelings before letting them blow up for sure; however it can also be said Ted and Beard ignored some red flags along the way. Not their fault by any means but that doesn't mean they couldn't have prevented Nate's transformation. Ted had his own shit going on but Beard definitely saw this happening and could have said something (before chastising him about Colin)
Yeah, I don't mind them having their own shit going on and neglecting Nate, but when they directly witness him berating and belittling Will it breaks my immersion when they don't do something about it. I'd step in at that point, and I'm not nearly as nice as Ted...
Don't even try to go where Nate's head is... it's just full of cloudy smoke and hate and ugh. That's the point, I think. It's so annoying, but people do be that way sometimes :/
Without spoiling anything, S3 is a bit of a disappointment (to me), because the discipline of coherent story arcs in S1 and S2 just isn't maintained through S3. I'm not sure what the issues were, but my understanding is that there needed to be a lot of re-shoots, etc. Sound like too many voices in the writers' room or something. It's not that there aren't good episodes - S3 has some of the BEST episodes of the whole show - but I don't feel the series as a whole hangs together very well.
The studio request for added episodes messes with things, I think. I enjoy the "filler" episodes, but I think they were an unnecessary distraction and stress factor for the people making the show. Season one feels more tight and well-paced somehow.
Genuinely disappointed by you and how unreasonably mad you got at a man, who is constantly belittled, acting childish. The maturity you have in almost every other show is just not present when you’re looking at Nate, and it makes you act and sound incredibly childish instead.
Most of it is a bit especially when it's just (cut to Nate and I make a noise or say fuck you or whatever) but the genuine frustration and anger comes from caring so much about him, his potential, and his treatment of the people that helped him. I'm not sure if you stick around for the discussions because I understand Nate and what he's doing whether I like it or not but also I'm just trying to have some fun here and there and there's a difference. Can I be childish, hell yeah, sure can but it shouldn't be that serious haha Also I too am human, I'm fallible and usually will admit it which I feel like I've acknowledged with Nate
@@Omn1Media I’d get that with almost any other show. But almost the entire point of this one is to look deeper at people. So when people see Nate roll his eyes when the team does something cheesy and say stuff like “FUCKING CASTRATE THIS ASSHOLE!” It’s… a little ridiculous. I don’t think you’re nearly as bad as the Normies were for this show, but the pure rage towards Nate from anyone bothers me. My attitude when watching him has always been the “I’m not mad, just disappointed.” Nothing he says or does really warrants a white hot rage. Everything you’ve said to and about him is genuinely worse than anything he says. He at no point wished physical harm upon someone.
@@Omn1Media …then why say those comments? It’s not exactly funny for a show like this. It’s funny towards Rupert but he has no redeeming elements anymore and actively seeks to hurt other people.
@@mr.stuffdoer8483 It's just getting into the drama of it all. When it's serious, I take it serious. When it's not I have fun. It's not that deep man. If you can't tell the difference, I don't know what to tell you.
The "Renaissance painting portraying masculine melancholy" is probably my favorite joke of the whole series.
Beard deduced it was Nate pretty easily. The list of suspects was Beard, Ted, Roy, Nate, Higgins, and Sharon.
Beard knew it wasn't him or Ted.
Sharon is bound by patient confidentiality, so she's out.
Roy expresses his anger face-to-face, and doesn't like Trent.
And Higgins doesn't have a bitter bone in his body.
Once you eliminate the impossible...
He knew between him, Roy and Higgins Nate was the only one.

Watching back. Episode one, Nate yells at Ted and Beard when they walk on the grass. He’s emotionally immature.

I'm not sure what the issues were, but my understanding is that there needed to be a lot of re-shoots, etc. Sound like too many voices in the writers' room or something.
It's not that there aren't good episodes - S3 has some of the BEST episodes of the whole show - but I don't feel the series as a whole hangs together very well.
The studio request for added episodes messes with things, I think. I enjoy the "filler" episodes, but I think they were an unnecessary distraction and stress factor for the people making the show. Season one feels more tight and well-paced somehow.
The hate for Nate is what am here for
Genuinely disappointed by you and how unreasonably mad you got at a man, who is constantly belittled, acting childish. The maturity you have in almost every other show is just not present when you’re looking at Nate, and it makes you act and sound incredibly childish instead.
Most of it is a bit especially when it's just (cut to Nate and I make a noise or say fuck you or whatever) but the genuine frustration and anger comes from caring so much about him, his potential, and his treatment of the people that helped him. I'm not sure if you stick around for the discussions because I understand Nate and what he's doing whether I like it or not but also I'm just trying to have some fun here and there and there's a difference. Can I be childish, hell yeah, sure can but it shouldn't be that serious haha Also I too am human, I'm fallible and usually will admit it which I feel like I've acknowledged with Nate
@@Omn1Media I’d get that with almost any other show. But almost the entire point of this one is to look deeper at people. So when people see Nate roll his eyes when the team does something cheesy and say stuff like “FUCKING CASTRATE THIS ASSHOLE!” It’s… a little ridiculous. I don’t think you’re nearly as bad as the Normies were for this show, but the pure rage towards Nate from anyone bothers me. My attitude when watching him has always been the “I’m not mad, just disappointed.” Nothing he says or does really warrants a white hot rage. Everything you’ve said to and about him is genuinely worse than anything he says. He at no point wished physical harm upon someone.
@@mr.stuffdoer8483 I don't genuinely wish anything bad for him. I feel like I've been pretty clear about that.
@@Omn1Media …then why say those comments? It’s not exactly funny for a show like this. It’s funny towards Rupert but he has no redeeming elements anymore and actively seeks to hurt other people.
@@mr.stuffdoer8483 It's just getting into the drama of it all. When it's serious, I take it serious. When it's not I have fun. It's not that deep man. If you can't tell the difference, I don't know what to tell you.
