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.

No but in season 3's opening, there's a really quick closeup shot of a bracelet in the shape of a snake.
In season 3 there's also a few shots of an Adam & Eve painting where there's a snake in the picture.

No living snakes in the show.

Deceased characters are shown with their eyes burnt out.
One character has an eye injury bad enough to wear a patch - it's never explained how that happened (bit of a running gag that any time anyone ever asks him about it, something interrupts him before he can answer).

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.
