During the exhecution scene, the dying person's skin is badly burnt, including the face. I didn't look too closely because it's very graphic, but there may be some damage to the eyes.

A person says that a noble might want to play with a pirate's balls, and since the noble is powerful, the first character might let him.
The same person a few phrases later says something like "I'll let you do that if you lick my c*".

A graphic, torturous death by boiling alive that lasts from roughly 36:50 to 38:41. There is a lot of screaming and some visuals. It was bad enough that I won't watch the series past this point.

Visual and acoustic v*
Cover your ears and eyes when you see the bucket with the innards for maybe ten seconds and you are good to go.

One person says he has given up living and shoots himself offscreen. Several more characters prepare seriously to stab or cut themselves to death, but are stopped before doing so.
If suicide is a major trigger for you, this will be a very difficult show to watch.
