S01.E07: Austerlitz - Succession - PRIMETIMER

Conor's estate in the New Mexico desert is named Austerlitz, which is a place in the Czech Republic.  Mostly known for one of Napoleon's victories, in 1805.  He changed it from a less PC name.

Kendall doesn't join his family initially but he makes his way to New Mexico.  Maybe the Wild West is a fitting place for him to fall off the wagon  -- what are the odds also that he'd meet a bunch of characters who were rejected for Breaking Bad?

But while high, he sees clearly that his addictions are all from Logan never giving his approval to him growing up.

The Roys are loaded so there is no shortage of people willing to join the family or at least spend a lot of time with its members.  But wow, these outsiders are subject to so much verbal abuse.  The Roy siblings have been calling Willa a call girl but in this episode, even Marcia, so polite and gracious, tells Willa that she had a friend just like Willa and the fact that she died had nothing to do with her being a prostitute!

Then Logan tells Shiv that Tom is fathoms beneath Shiv!

It's not clear what arrangement Conor and Willa have had but he offers her an allowance and money to go to NY to build her theater career if she stays in New Mexico.  Fine, she figures she'll just borrow his Tesla to go to Starbucks and get away from his weepy ass every day.  Oh no, he has Starbucks pods!  

What are the odds that a rich guy would have a fancy coffeemaker?

How surprising is it that Shiv cheated?  But she didn't have to use the "shit happens" clause in the prenup because they're not married yet!  If she's going to betray her father by working for Bernie Sanders with a mean streak, what chance did poor Tom have?
