In season 3 episode 6 “Billy”, multiple characters are afflicted with a primal misogynistic rage that causes them to attack or kill women in their proximity. Verbal violence is inflicted alongside physical violence, affecting main characters such as Wesley and Gunn as well. Onscreen violence against women is shown, most particularly against Fred and Lilah Morgan.

It is strongly implied that a girl was sexually abused by her father as a child. We see flashbacks of a man taking a girl down from an attick, telling her not to make a fuss. Later it is said by another character that she was likely abused and that her father was the most likely person.

Holtz steals Angel’s baby from Wesley, after Wesley took him away from Angel due a prophecy (later revealed to be fake) that suggests Angel would kill his son. Holtz raises Angel’s son in a different dimension where time passes differently, and when he shows up in the next season he is an adult (or at least an older teenager)

A character has a sexual and romantic relationship with his pseudo-mother figure. They are not biologically related, and the relationship is seen as disgusting and toxic by the other characters, but it is still difficult to watch.

The Season 5 finale is sad, and the last scene ends on a massive and hopeless cliffhanger, as the show was cancelled before the next season could be made and resolve everything.

Blood and gore is frequent throughout the show, as the characters often fight, get tortured, get injured, etc. Injuries are more frequent, graphic, and gruesome than in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer show.
