You do not see a dog die onscreen; however, the implication is that the man intended to kill the dog before the scene changes.

There is a dead pig being cut open at about 16:30. Ed says he walked in on someone gutting a pig just before you see it so you have a bit of warning to fast forward through it. It’s a very short period of time, 10 seconds at most

I could only see him chop wood. There are chickens on the farm but I didn’t see any killing or hear chickens in distress.

Now, the mother eats a cooked bird of some kind in one scene and rips the body apart which I didn’t enjoy watching. But it’s nothing most of us haven’t seen at some point irl
Perhaps people are talking about a different episode? Would be good if someone could elaborate

About 30 minutes into the first episode a man is threatening to drown his wife/fiance/girlfriends puppy. The dog is heard yelping as the man carries it to a tub of water. Ultimately the dog survives. The people are distracted and the dog does not die. At least not on screen. That doesn’t make the sounds less upsetting so be warned.

The beginning of this episode it goes to Ted Bundy kidnapping two women, and killing them and then going back to perform sexual acts on them after they were dead it pans away and ends the scene as he's taking off his pants doesn't show anything but it might be triggering. This happens at it right about 4 minutes at the very beginning of the episode

I mean, the crime as extremely gorey. It did not feel to me like the film was excessive relative to the crimes, if that makes sense. Still, it sometimes cuts to severed body parts unexpectedly

EP 2:

- 42:30-43:40 on the movie set Hitchcock says “you’re like him” then the actor runs out and v* (visual and audio)
- 44:30-45:00 the actor is in therapy and he says after intercourse “I become ill, every time” and he v* (audio and you see him by the toilet)
- 54:00-54:20 when people are walking out of the theater, a man says “My wife is going into labor!” and a moment later another man v* in a bin. Hitchcock hands him a tissue and says “here. You keep it.” and the man v* again. (audio but you don’t see his face/mouth)

EP 7:
- When Ed talks about a lady skinning a pig and how the sight bl00d upsets him, he says “I v*ed right then and there” but there is no visual nor audio

All other episodes are SAFE!

I didn't see any slurs, but there is a scene where Alfred Hitchcock is talking to the actor that will play Ed,saying he was chosen because he has a 'sickness', similar to what Ed had. The actor is gay. There is also a therapist scene with the actor talking about how to stop him from being gay using language like 'get better' and it cuts to him receiving electric shock therapy.

Presents baseless theories that Gein (who murdered women and girls) was a transgender woman. Way too much pacing is detected to panties, which Gein didn’t care about.
