A missing child causes four families to help each other for answers. What they could not imagine is that this mystery would be connected to innumerable other secrets of the small town.
A dog gets lured away in the woods and gets lost. Its owner and others try to find the dog for a few days but eventually give up, assuming the dog to be dead.
A woman abandons her son to live in the past. A dad kills himself leaving his som behind. A man attempting to find his son gets trapped in the past, abandoning his two other children
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.
An older version of a character (via time travel) goes back in time and still has romantic feelings for his girlfriend (still a teen). As far as season 2 they don’t have physical intimacy, but it’s still squicky to see an older man getting romatic with a teenage girl
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.
A teenage boy gets wrongfully framed for a rape he didn't commit and gets jailed for a few days.
An older man is framed for murders he didn't commit and is first put in prison and later moved to a mental hospital, sentenced for the rest of his life.
A man is locked up to be interrogated later.
There are a lot of scenes in a hospital. As far as season 2 there isn’t much medical gore (ie we see characters sitting in bed in hospitals, we don’t see procedures)
Entire show is about time travel, reality shifting and being altered. Characters often question their sanity and whether what they're witnessing is real or not.
There is a trans woman who is a sex worker. One character goes to her for sex work and they call him “gay,” or imply he “likes dick,” which is implying they don’t accept the trans woman as a woman
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.
A teenage boy finds out that his love interest (teenage girl) is his aunt (through time travel shenanigans). They have sex before he finds this out, and also they kiss after they both find this out.
