Karl Alberg moves to a quiet coastal town to soothe a psyche that has been battered by big-city police work but finds himself needing to call upon all his skills to solve the murders that continue to wash up on his shore.
Nothing onscreen, but a character’s neighbor accuses her of killing her dog. It’s been missing and when the character is questioned about it, she “jokes” that she killed the dog with a “nine inch nail between the eyes, like all the other neighborhood pets”. Based on the character’s behavior and personality, it’s likely that she actually did kill the dog :(
Not shown onscreen, but there are brief descriptions of two siblings being abused as children and then one of them being abused by their husband as an adult
No, but a character mentions that his 5 children want him to lose weight (there’s nothing to imply that his kids are making fun of him/malicious. Presumably they’re thinking about his health)
No, but someone is killed when they’re accidentally pushed against a door hinge with bolts on it. They hit their head and slide to the floor (with some very very fake blood shown on the door)
Two characters are trapped in a burning building but escape. It’s revealed that 20 years ago, a character intentionally burned down an old lady’s house with her still in it. She was killed (only mentioned, nothing shown) and there is a drawing from a diary depicting an old lady surrounded by flames and screaming for help
The slashing itself isn’t shown onscreen, but the aftermath of it is. A body is found in the woods with a slit throat and the wound looks more graphic later when the body is in the morgue (at the end of the episode). The body is shown from the side and you can see how deep the wound is. No blood though
Very brief shot of a dead body’s extremely damaged fingernails from fighting off their attacker. Also, a character is struck on the hand by some sort of construction tool (I couldn’t make out what it was, maybe wrench?) but doesn’t seem to actually injure the hand
As is standard in any cop show. However there are acknowledgments of ACAB-type rhetoric and multiple characters (including a main character) express hesitation towards/distrust of cops
Not explicitly stated in most of the episode, there are insinuations, but it’s revealed that the character (elderly man) has died by the end of the episode
