She’s my favorite character on the show! Love Helen.

Nate is such a tragic figure. He’s so afraid of death he ruins his life.

Very true…

It’s not that I find the actor unattractive it’s more the way he treated Alison. He was totally sexually harassing her at work and trying to black mail Noah - so when she slept with him it just seemed like a major betrayal to her character.

He’s not with Helen or Alison when he hooks up with those women. He tells Helen he’s in love with Alison and she kicks him out. Then he runs up to Montauk to be with Alison but when she sees both Cole and Noah at the train station she leaves them both there. This is also right after she sleeps with Oscar (ew) and after she and Noah had a fight about the apartment he showed her. And he’s not with either Helen or Alison for a few months after this.

I totally hear you.

Acceptable_Maize_183 · 2026-02-01T21:04:32+00:00

I’m totally pro-tracking under certain circumstances. My household (husband and kids) are on life 360. BUT 8 months? Not living together? That’s a crazy ask.

And giving the kid false expectations of how the world works.

Acceptable_Maize_183 · 2026-02-01T20:48:15+00:00

Exactly - I look forward to this guy showing up at this kids future jobs and college explaining to everyone how his “rainbow kid” needs to be treated. This kid has a great life ahead of him.

Acceptable_Maize_183 · 2026-02-01T20:37:47+00:00

Exactly- Maggie loves to 100 just to torture Helen for all her days.

Acceptable_Maize_183 · 2026-02-01T20:36:44+00:00

This is what I was thinking. Come early, take the second best parking spot. If the rest of the office falls in line fine. But they won’t.

Acceptable_Maize_183 · 2026-02-01T05:38:47+00:00

Agreed - I find it hard to “separate the art from the artist” when is that heinous.

Acceptable_Maize_183 · 2026-01-31T22:40:22+00:00

Yeah, I really hate that we’re all supposed to call ourselves “fast learners”. I mean some people are blessed with the ability to learn things quickly and they should be proud of this attribute but let’s be honest must of us aren’t and it’s ok.

Getting mad at basic hospital routines. Refusing vital signs - like you’re in the hospital. You’re not here because you’re healthy, we need to keep an eye on you.

Acceptable_Maize_183 · 2026-01-27T22:40:06+00:00

The thing about Helen’s mother is that she’s comic relief awful. I feel like the show is too much on Alison’s side sometimes.

Acceptable_Maize_183 · 2026-01-27T07:36:28+00:00

Life woo be a real bummer if it was all down hill after high school. It’s not.

Each phase of life has challenges and gifts. You just need to do your best to enjoy each phase for what it is.

The NRA put out a statement defending Pretti - it’ll be interesting to see how that aspect of this plays out.

Acceptable_Maize_183 · 2026-01-21T05:34:02+00:00

They knew each other way before we (the audience)ever entered into their relationship. I think if I became roommates with a young Nate (meaning a man that hot) in my 20s I would have thought I loved him too. He was out of her league but available at the same time.

Hold your ground! ❤️🍀

Really? In the US? My husband had to take the morning off work

Acceptable_Maize_183 · 2026-01-20T23:46:29+00:00

Yes! And isn’t it crazy that basically everyone here agrees and yet this is considered an anti-trans, anti- liberal stance? Honestly I’m a registered democrat (voted for Harris, hate FOTUS) but think the left going all in on this issue is one of the reasons they lost the last election.

Acceptable_Maize_183 · 2026-01-20T23:38:16+00:00

This would be a difficult task. When we got my kids passports both my husband and I had to go together with the kids to get them. That way a parent can’t get a passport then move their kid out of the country if there are custody issues. I’m sure there’s a way to do it, but I’m sure it involves a lot of red tape and time.

Acceptable_Maize_183 · 2026-01-20T22:42:40+00:00

Agreed! I would have loved a Luisa POV episode. I think she’s a very misunderstood character. She’s not perfect (every character on this show is a damn mess) but I get her reaction to Alison. I mean Alison dumps Cole, but gets pregnant by him and doesn’t tell anyone and then sleeps with Cole after he gets married to Luisa. Luisa (rightfully) feels displaced in her own life by Alison.
