In the final episode a woman decides to stay behind and sacrifice herself to buy a group of people (including her teenage son) some more time to escape
If this is a trigger, please consider this comment that “dany” left on the SA trigger warning as it may apply here:
“In episode 7 a woman is taken by the "angel" and while there's no sexual assault, the position they end up in and her screams might be triggering”
During episodes 4 and 6, several characters breathe in deeply after seizures and vomiting during which they seem like they may also be struggling to breathe.
Episode 5: As someone is touched by the sunrise their entire body is ignited, you see their body in flames and their face tear apart as another woman screams and sobs. Episode 7: At the end of the episode a large number of people are burned alive at sunrise.
Episode 6: An undisclosed amount of people are locked within a church as they are attacked by others and torn open so people can drink their blood. Episode 7: Episode opens with people being hunted down and attacked so people can rip them open and drink their blood.
Episode one, a woman in a car crash is seen multiple times, she has shards of glass in her face and eye. It is shadowy, but flashing lights expose the glass.
One character who has been turned into a vampire purposefully exposes himself to sunlight in order to prove his account to another character, killing him.
In the last few episodes several characters sacrifice themselves to buy more time for others to escape, whether this be through fighting off the monsters or by killing themselves.
The mass deaths at the end of the last episode have a sort of "for the greater good" vibe attached to them because several characters know that the goal of the antagonists was to presumably spread vampirism around the world
Paralysed character in a wheelchair is played by an able-bodied person. However, it is a major plot line that the character is temporarily able-bodied once again
Nobody overdoses, but several characters exhibit symptoms associated with overdosing (seizures, vomiting, difficulty breathing, loss of consciousness, etc)
There aren’t technically ghosts, but the protagonist is haunted by the image of girl he killed by drunk driving. Which may explain the almost tie of yeses and nos.
Kind of. People are driven to do things they normally wouldn’t.
[SPOILERS]
Almost everyone gets overtaken by vampirism, causing them to violently kill and drink the blood of loved ones, including a kid who remarks he “thinks he killed his mom,” implying loss of control of actions due to the vampirism.
Not really trypophobia, since the effects kind of cover it up, but just in case: in the last episode, there are several long closeups of a character's face and upper shoulders, where you can see an open wound in her neck. The way the effects work out makes it unclear as to whether or not the wound could fully be considered a "hole", but if you look at it right you might see what looks like tissue/sinew
In episode 6, lots of emet when everyone is gathered in church around minute 49, minor instance, between 55-57 minutes in the episode lots of visual and sound.
The one sheriff in town is a hero in the story, but he also shares the horrible racial abuse from other cops he endured as a Muslim man, which led him to moving to the island.
Episode 3: A creature cuts open its wrist. Not meant to be a depiction of self harm, but could easily be triggering because it is slicing open of a wrist. Episode 4: A man carved into his palm with a rosary. Episode 4: A creature drains its blood from his palm/wrist into a chalice.
Several characters actively/intentionally commit suicide, all in front of other people, and one is intended to be a distraction.
There's a situation heavily reminiscent of the Jonestown massacre in the 6th episode, where people intentionally drink poison in a church setting. It is framed by the antagonists as a test of faith, and several characters plead with others for them not to drink, including brief shots where a teenager tries to pry the cup out of her mother's hands while pleading with her to stop. That same character's father then attempts to get her to drink by saying "we'll do it together" before he drinks his cup. Another teenager's father begs his son not to drink the poison while he is being restrained on the floor by several parishioners, but the son does and it is implied he was groomed into doing it by some of the antagonists. While the characters who drink the poison do come back to life, they do so as vampires. This scene is chaotic and can be particularly distressing.
Most of the characters, while not necessarily "committing" suicide, don't attempt to save themselves when the last sunrise happens, causing their deaths. While no character outright states a desire to die or has any explicit suicidal ideation due to mental illness, this desire could be implied for some of the characters. The mass death at the end is framed as a "dying is better than the alternative" kind of thing.
Also, please don't say things like "commit not alive". This isn't tiktok, and when you don't need to dance around the subject like is needed on certain sites it just ends up trivializing it.
Episode 5: A character knows he will die if he allows himself to be hit by sunlight and strands himself in a boat at sunrise at the end of the episode. Episode 6: There is a mass suicide near the end of the episode so people can be “reborn”. Episode 7: A woman slits her own throat.
The main character is haunted by someone he harmed, though it was accidental. Seems like he could be going through some PTSD. Another character's alcoholism revolves around his deep regret at accidentally hurting someone.
Miscarriage storyline begins in episode 4. The episode opens with it and there is a very emotional monologue about the wanted pregnancy passing half way through the episode.
This show does feature HEAVY themes of Christianity and some religions are referred to in a poor manner, so take caution if you’re triggered by religious imagery
No but there is nonbinary and trans erasure in episode 2. Riley makes reference to "pregnant people" and then corrects himself and says "well, women" and Erin says "yeah, they tend to be women"
It's subtle but honestly with all the TERFs asserting that pregnancy is an experience had exclusively by women lately, that exchange between Erin and Riley felt pointed and purposeful.
Episode 6: The sheriff describes anti-Muslim behavior in his last precinct. He is also held to the ground and demeaned in the church near the end of the episode. There is less overt Islamophobia, but a clear undercurrent throughout the series. Episode 7: The sheriff is shot and specifically called a terrorist, and told he has “dirty blood”.
The Main Villian creature is a vampire that the priest claims is an angel. The vampire looks very demon esk and could be confused for one in appearance. (Wings, pale skin, sharp teeth, inhuman eyes, unnatural body proportions)
