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.

(Vague spoilers) Without giving too much away, a person who was severely abused and neglected as a child grows up to be a very violent and ruthless adult who tortures people the same way they were tortured.

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.

Technically, yes. (SPOILERS) Although it seems consensual when you first see it. Later it is revealed that it was rape by deception.
A woman is also touched and kissed by her captor while unconscious.

Man is beaten to death with a hammer to the face, quite graphic. It’s obvious when it’s about to happen.
Also in this episode, a different man is mutilated with a rock to the face. This is also very easy to see coming.

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.

Near the end of the first episode, an intellectually disabled man (from a traumatic brain injury) punches his sister hard in the face when she stops him from jumping overboard a ferry to retrieve his hat.
(Major Spoilers) We later learn that it wasn’t about the hat, he was spooked by someone on board and trying to communicate that they were in danger. (/spoiler)

E1
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 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.

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.

Something like this can’t really have a 100% “happy” ending because of all the murder, and no doubt everyone involved will have lingering trauma and needs lots of therapy, but (spoilers) no one you are meant to be super attached to dies at the end and everyone seems to be on a healing path.
