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)

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

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

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.

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
