Arguably, Merrit’s captors gaslight her. They try to alter her sense of reality about past events, and try to make her believe bad things that happened are all her fault.

Sort of. There’s no explicit “I forgive you” moment. However, a boy describes horrific past abuse by his mother, but seemingly forgives her and still obeys her as an adult.

Technically, yes. (SPOILERS) Although it seems consensual, it is revealed later that it was rape by deception. It’s a post-coital scene and briefly heard.

Also, a woman is also touched and kissed by her captor while unconscious.

There are two past events that involve people falling to their death.

One is a woman who was pushed down the stairs by her abusive husband. You do not see this happen on screen, but it is referenced multiple times.

The other event was a man who apparently fell off a cliff. This event is discussed several times. You see this one happen in a flashback in S1E9. But you do not see the actual impact, just the fall.

In the final few episodes, the violence and gore ramps up considerably. Lots of severe/fatal head injuries happen. I wouldn’t personally say it’s excessive but it’s definitely graphic enough to warrant a warning.

Just noting that this series takes place in Scotland so although it has a lot of the same detective show copaganda tropes we see in the US, there’s a different policing context that I really can’t speak on. Hopefully someone Scottish can weigh in.

Happens in episode 9. (Spoiler and trigger warning, description of suicide method and motives) Someone shoots themselves in the head. Easy to see it coming. Camera switches to outside the car before the trigger is pulled and you see the blood spatter on the windshield. Just also noting that this isn’t a terribly sympathetic character and the suicide is not due to depression or pain or regret, but to avoid accountability for a horrific crime they committed… in case the context makes a difference for some folks.

A main character lives with her adult nonverbal brother who has an unspecified (as of E1) disability that seems like it could be autism.

In the first episode, sis has stern chat with the support worker who is caring for him while she’s at work, telling her not to treat him like a child because he is a grown man. There’s not a ton of context for this conversation so far.

There is light restraint (sister briefly holds brothers hands down) to stop a self injurious behavior.

(SPOILERS) Near the end of the episode, brother and sister are on a boat and brother’s hat is swept away by the wind. He tries to go overboard after it but sister stops him, and he hits her hard in the face. Afterward, the sister walks away and disappears (mysteriously), leaving her brother in custody of the local authority.

Will update if anything progresses.

UPDATE: (spoilers) He’s not autistic, his disability is the result of a traumatic brain injury. However, the presentation is very much like autism so I will continue to note potential triggers.
