Throughout the show there is a lot of child neglect. Siblings are allowed to slap each other, parents slap children, children are emotionally and physically neglected. A lot of violence happens to teenagers too (not necessarily by their parents, but by other adults and sometimes other teenagers)

The story follows many dysfunctional families where parents are emotionally neglectful to their children/teenagers' needs.

In the 80s, a mother is verbally and physically abusive to her daughter, telling her she should've aborted her and hitting her daughter on the head.

One adoptive mother secretly drugs her child at night. This is heavily implied by the pills next to a mug that is later given to the child.

Unclear. There’s an overheard kerfuffle with a horse-drawn carriage. The driver is presumably killed, and the horse makes a lot of noise.

The burnt, mutilated face of boy corpses are shown multiple times throughout the entire show.

Some characters sustain bloody injuries but nothing too graphic beyond some scratches and blood.

One character has a deformed, burnt but fully scarred ear.
One character also has one half of his face scarred.

Someone gets stabbed in the throat and dies.
Another person is hung but gets spared. The rope burn remains visible for the rest of this character's journey either as freshly bloody injuries or scarred reddish marks around his throat.

Right at the beginning of the first episode, definitely triggering.
In later episodes, a character is almost hung, but makes it out alive. He does get a bad scar from it though. I think there are also other executions.

Many episodes feature a sex scene right after the opening credits.
Mainly full nudity but only showing characters' buttocks and chest and breasts. No genitals being shown.

There's sex between adults and sex between teenagers being shown.

There are also occasions of characters talking about sex.
