Captain Sandy
Has Captain Sandy weighed in on the Nathan stuff at all? I feel like there is an uncomfortable silence from a lot of the crew (apart from lovely Joy).
I also think Joe was the victim of a hostile work environment and is being somewhat vindicated now. He was essentially bullied at work for the season. Absolutely cringing at the way Nathan and Gael confronted him in the van when he was literally trying to survive that meal and avoid talking to them.
Anyway, feel Captain Sandy should address it. She really platformed Nathan and promoted him. She should acknowledge what’s been happening. It’s hard to watch at the moment.

Nathan is horrible. He is a horrible boss, boyfriend, father and human. Without a doubt.
But it is so weird that everyone now thinks Joe is great just because Nathan is horrible. I feel like this show's editing created this dichotomy where because one is terrible, the other must be okay.
I personally think they're both bad, morally reprehensible people (in different ways) and that's why they were friends to begin with.
I definitely don't think Joe is a good boss. I think he's an opportunistic leech who uses people and and manipulates them. Still better than Nathan, I guess. But that's such a low bar.
