Yes, sexually and mentally by father and brother. The abuse is described extensively and in extremely graphic details. It is very triggering and I don’t recommend watching it
Yes, this is a very detailed story about physical, mental, verbal, and sexual abuse. If you are sensitive to any of that in any way, I recommend steering clear.
Birds are shot at in episode 4 (nothing seen on screen, and it's very brief). A story about a dog killing a ferret and then being killed is in episode 7 (skip 5:02-5:17 to miss it completely).
At the end of 38 mins - well into 39 - Jose describes a horrible collar for dogs/talks about a dog they once had in a very upsetting way. Skip or mute because it's no visual images, just dialogue.
Two young boys are raped by the father for years. It is described in unnecessary details and is extremely triggering. I have never seen anything like this in a show or movie and I after two days I am still not okay. Please if you are triggered by sexual abuse do not watch this show.
Erik struggles immensely with suicidal thoughts and nightmares. If this is triggering I would steer clear especially of the first episode as he is shown dreaming of shooting himself in the head.
If mentions of or seeing someone commit suicide is a trigger, skip episode one. There are several depictions of Erik having suicidal thoughts and it graphically shows the nightmares he’s been having. If seeing this would trigger you definitely don’t watch episode one. You could start on episode 2 and probably still be able to understand what’s going on.
