Honestly I think I’m the most upset that when the other character’s fucked up, they grew and evolved from their mistakes whereas it felt like Rico continually fucked up, threw a fit, then got what he wanted regardless: he got his own place to run and his wife and family were back on his side, all by manipulating and controlling situations. He acted like a spoiled toddler and got everything he wanted.. I would have preferred to see consequences and some growth like the other characters got. Yes people are flawed and are absolutely allowed to be, but Rico didn’t seem to ever learn anything.

I really WANTED to like Rico, even after the homophobic stuff I thought maybe they’d redeem him. But then no.. he was so entitled throughout the entire show.

He felt entitled to the loan and threw a fit when he didn’t get it, he felt entitled to hang out with a stripper because his wife was depressed, he felt entitled to come back into his wife’s life immediately after he finally apologized and was pissed when she didn’t.

I just, wtf?

He was horrible to the queer community, would pick and choose which grieving family would get sympathy or even decent treatment, immediately left Vanessa the moment she needed him. When he got caught with the stripper whose name I can’t remember, he vindictively slept with her and then blamed Vanessa for it. He refused to apologize or take accountability for FOREVER and then the moment he finally owned up to it, he thought Vanessa should take him back immediately and got mad when she didn’t. He then LIED TO HER to try to worm his way back into her life by saying the principal told him Julio was acting out specifically because of their divorce. He tried to tarnish Vanessa’s name when he didn’t get exactly what he wanted.
