Honestly I think Erik's behavior makes a lot of sense. Erik had a really tough time adjusting to life on the island. He essentially only had two real friends, Mathias and Sara. Erik probably didn't want to be friends with Felix at first, but then they were stuck together the whole summer because they had the same job. And since Sara moved and Mathias spent the whole summer ghosting him, he didn't really have anyone else to turn to. He's probably still a little scared of Felix, but he's stuck with him for two months and he doesn't have any other friends. So of course he tries to be friends with Felix. What other option does he have?

Felix said a lot of awful shit in ep 2, but remember Mathias has been avoiding him* all summer. Last time Erik tried to help someone (the girl in Bergen) he got beat up and had to move. And the last time Felix and gang beat him up, Mathias kind of let them (I know there's more nuance to this, but trauma doesn't always care about nuance).

I'm not excusing what Erik did (or didn't do) or saying that he should be friends with Felix, but I do understand why he's behaving the way he is.

*Edit: because I'm now rereading what I wrote and I just want to clarify, I mean that Mathias has been avoiding Erik all summer so that's why Erik didn't stand up to Felix, not that Felix said what he said because Mathias had been avoiding Felix.

Best acting in Rykter definitely goes to Teo Tomczuk and Martin Storebo Koh.

Mathias- such a up & down character, but definitely the best written one in the series so far. The actor portrays him so well, with fewer lines but incredibly nuanced facial expressions.

Felix- This character is grappling with internal conflicts, redirecting his frustration outward without much self-reflection.His emptiness makes him more hateful as series progresses. If this what the writers were aiming for, they nailed it. And the actor did quite well, he managed to piss off audiences.

Mathias and Erik in Rykter 3x03

Erik is wild for acting surprised by the kiss. 

Mathias was down bad the whole time and it showed.

Ok I might be wrong but my theory is that Felix is gay, he sent intimate pictures to Mathias in the past, he's always trying to impress him to keep him close and has a jealousy reaction towards him and Erik that's a bit too big and makes me question if there's something hidden, it doesn't really feel like it's just jealousy about their friendship... He saw them asleep together and didn't resort to homophobia immediately which makes me question if he's now doing that not because he truly thinks those things but because he's hurt that they kissed and that Mathias doesn't want him... He has a super strict and religious family and talked about a "girlfriend" we know nothing about in passing... something the writers could be using to signal he's trying to hide and invented this girlfriend, I also think Erik might know or suspect something about it and something we don't know about yet happened between them and that's why Erik went away with him and is still his friend even after he said those things to Mathias!

so ep 2 is setting up a story for Felix about his home life. most people seem to think that the show wants the audience to sympathize with Felix, but I have another interpretation:

Mathias and Felix are in very similar positions, in that they both have something they want to do with their lives, but their parents disapprove on the grounds that they should be doing and trying for more. The thing is, for Mathias, this is his actual dream. But Felix doesn't seem to actually care about working in a fish factory. He's good enough at his job but that doesn't mean he likes it or wants to keep doing it for the rest of his life. And the only reason he brought it up was because his parents were fawning over his brother's job offers.

Mathias has an actual goal and dream that just happens to be simplistic, and his parents disapprove because they want him to do something "better" with his life. But Felix is just lazy and wants to get drunk/high, (Which is totally fair given that he is 15), and his parents disapprove because they want him to have an actual secondary education. (something that Mathias is still getting, even if it's not as prestigious).

To me, it seems like the show is setting up parallels between Mathias and Felix, rather than just trying to gain sympathy for Felix
