722320, For me, the problem with Nora the person...

has been her unrelenting quest to bring others down to her level of pain. She's leveraged the admittedly insane amount of tragedy in her life not really as a positive force and it's made her difficult to relate to.

That said, I think Nora the character is absolutely brilliantly written. Kevin's been the focus of the show but Carrie Coon's portrayal of this person undergoing unspeakable tragedy is quietly the highlight of the series.

Her journey has been difficult to watch, but certainly not from a lack of artistic merit.
