Its said multiple times that a character was hit to the point of breaking skin. Then a scene is shown in which a character is hit with a hair brush to feel it again and “gain full potential again”

The relationship between the two main characters Jocelyn and Tedros is shown to be incredibly abusive and is the show's primary focus (although not portrayed critically, but in a very romanticized lens).

In the first episode Lily Rose states she likes a character because he’s “rape-y” she then has some scenes in which she is restrained or has her face covered while having sex. It’s consented but was triggering to a person I know so just thought i’d put it down on here in case someone else might be.

Its said in the show that they say yes to everything so its insinuated but nothing is shown. The show is a sex cult and in this episode there’s a scene in which a character is asked about her age and she responds “sevent- I meant eighteen”.

Although not shown on screen, it's mentioned that Jocelyn's mother had passed away prior to the events within the show. This is shown to take quite a toll on her and her mental state.

Starts with a photoshoot. Not the most intense flashing, until the dude is put in the bathroom.
Flashing of different intensities at the nightclub. Mostly somewhat mild.

In just about every episode, there seems to be lots of sexual objectification, especially towards the main character, Jocelyn; in the very first episode, she is sexually objectified for her struggles with mental illness as one of the other characters states that "mental illness is sexy".
