Mateo is not a nice person, he's a judgemental jerk that makes fun of every one of his coworkers except Cheyenne. Even in the episode, the joke is no one has anything nice to say about him, not even Cheyenne. So are we supposed to feel sympathy for him? Or are we supposed to be glad he was caught and is being deported?
shareI think you're supposed to feel sympathy for him. Much like The Office, the characters are all pretty flawed and even though they get on each other's nerves, they also come together and rally around one who is in trouble. A great example is the second season premier episode of The Office, where at The Dundee awards, most of the characters are extremely annoyed with Michael. But when an unruly patron at the other side of the bar throws something and said something mean to him, they all encouraged Michael to keep going because they actually did care about his feelings. This show has a very similar vibe in regards to its characters.
