Thanks for this breakdown and helping me affirm in my correct decision in not wanting to watch this show.

This is completely off tangent, but this breakdown reminds me of that old USA show Suits and ultimately why I stopped watching; for the most part, none of the major characters faced any consequences for their actions. Got very tired and stale watching rich folks create problems with other rich folks based of hubris and greed with little to no risk involved.
