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.
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
In episode 4 when lyle is talking about his mother, he says she hated birds and shot them, its shown her with a gun and shooting at the sky but no birds are seen being shot or being killed
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.
While it doesn’t happen in real life, one of the sons has nightmares where he puts a shotgun under his chin. It happens multiple times without warning and is extremely triggering.
