Ann spends the majority of her time in the basement duct tied to a chair pretty completely. They only stop restraining her when she’s been drugged so heavily she can’t move regardless.

Very bad jumpscares in S1E3 (in police station setting, visions seen by the main policewoman) and S1E4 (whilst policewoman is driving in car and looking in her rear view mirror). These are extremely scary and upsetting. Caution needed. All show graphic hanging.

Staged suicide by hanging, which later turns out not to be suicide. Could still be distressing though.
