I think one of the reasons that people relate to the show and love it, is that almost every character is an everyman. But I think Matt is the most so, if that makes any sense — he just has so much shit working against him, but was always like, “This is my life and I’m going to go with it.” He’s a good person working to do the best he could, and I think everything with his grandmother — I feel like there were a lot of times when you really saw his heart. He had a very open heart and people were able to connect with that. So then with everything he’s been through, and then there’s this big blow to him, maybe that’s why it resonated so much.
