Synopsis

Britain is in the grip of a chilling recession... falling wages, rising prices, civil unrest - only the bankers are smiling. It's 1783 and Ross Poldark returns from the American War of Independence to his beloved Cornwall to find his world in ruins: his father dead, the family mine long since closed, his house wrecked and his sweetheart pledged to marry his cousin. But Ross finds that hope and love can be found when you are least expecting it in the wild but beautiful Cornish landscape.

Characters are frequently seen drinking throughout the series. Some of these instances are alcohol abuse and result in negative behaviors.

Periodically you see dead game animals, such as pheasants or rabbits. It's not graphic.

A character says "my arm is broken" after a fall, and afterward appears wearing a sling, but it isn't confirmed that the injury is actually a broken bone.

It would be easier to list the family members who don't die. They're not exactly being killed off in large numbers, but the show covers a pretty long time frame.

This is basically "People Staring at the Sea: The Series". The plot mostly exists to give people excuses to stand dramatically by the sea. Occasionally they sit.

There are passing references, but no real discussion until season 3, at which point the implications are more political than theological.

It's not discussed, but presumably yes, as some of the characters are very sheltered before marriage.
