S01E07 @ 30 min mark: Character is in prison and is coerced into sex by a prison warden in return for not being executed. May be confronting for some with trauma.

Season 1, indirectly. Someone is burried as death person. The character gets ressurected later. There is no scene showing the character in the cascet.

There is also a claustrophobic scene where a person tries to kill themselved in a closed hot tub. They survive the suicide attempt.

The main character is lynched in an early episode. It’s very vivid and pronounced, but it’s later shown to be not real.

In episode 1 a man and woman have sex. While engaging in intercourse the woman tells the man to worship her. He then begins to verbally praise and worship her while she slowly consumes him with her vagina. Quite an intense and disturbing scene.

A few.
One is episode 4 around 33:35 mark. No crash scene but you see the “skidding” and body outside the vehicle and you see an overview of the aftermath/bodies.
Episode 7 I assume you see the avoidance or running over a rabbit and you see a lot of aftermath in motion.

There are a few episodes where people are underwater and the possibilities there but there’s usually a rescue.
S3E5 Two men are shown dead, floating in water from obvious drowning.
No actual scenes of the process only the aftermath or the possibility.
