a dead horse is seen on screen ep8, ~6 minutes in. its death is not shown

A girl describes killing her dog, though we do not see it. In another instance the killing of puppies is mentioned. Both take place in the first episode.

In the beginning a deer gets hurt by the monster Geralt kills, it's laying down with a visible wound, and when the screen goes black he mercy kills it

In episode 6, a starving magical creature is dismembered and killed. Skip from 12:37 til 13:58. Or skip to 18:20 if you don't want to see it being eaten (it's head is in the background).

There are monsters with bug-like characteristics.

Death occurs offscreen, but body is seen and discussed

In episode 4 and episode 8 In episode 4 horses are seen dead on the ground after a creature attacks a coach. In episode 8 a dead horse is seen before the opening credits.

In episode 2 it is mentioned that a girl (magically) froze a cat, though it is not shown and it is not said whether or not the cat died.

There are monsters with spider-like characteristics.

Eels are shown in episode 2, during a scene in a cave. They are the focus of the scene and very snake-like.

S1E7: Yennefer mixes herbs and gives them to the girls. The mixed herbs have a psychedelic effect. Technically you could call some of the spells drugs as well. For example in S1E5, Yennefer has a smoking bundle of herbs that she blows towards the couple (specifically the man) that is basically viagra.

Not abused, but there is drinking (mostly Beer/Ale) and also discussed, no addiction

In episode 2, when Fringilla first attempts magic, her hand becomes shrivelled and disfigured.

There is a vivid scene in Episode 3 where Yennefer undergoes a ritual to turn her into an image of beauty. She refuses painkillers and is shown having her uterus removed and tossed into flames, so it's kind of like a torture scene in which she undergoes intense physical pain.

in episode 1 there is graphic discussion of people being burned alive (amongst other torture). episode 8, ~36 minutes in a woman is hurt by a burning torch held to her throat. episode 8, 50 minutes in, many many people are burned alive

A character gets hit with an arrow in the eye in episode 1. In episode three, a body is shown with its eyes removed.

In episode 4 a man cuts a pieces of flesh out of his own arm and eats it.

Removed non-human's teeth are handled and prominently shown on-screen in Season 1, Episode 06, however the removal of the teeth is not shown.

S1E4: One of Fringilla's comrades slices a piece out of Calanthe's arm and eats the flesh. Fringilla then guts him and is able to determine that Ciri is in Brokilon forest.

in a fight scene, someone's arm seems to be cut off but it's very brief, s1e8

In the fifth episode a character wishes another character would “explode” and his head bursts

Many background characters cheat on spouses with more relevant characters. It's a topic that comes up a few times.

Episode 4 Decapitated

A baby dies.

geralt and jaskier are kidnapped for a brief while

In all of Season 1, Cahir is stalking Ciri

There is a mind control weapon at one point, and a character who shapeshifts into others.

I wouldn't say ghosts but there are monsters.

in episode 4 geralt is shown in a bath. there is no running water. he is shirtless and his nudity is implied, but nothing below the chest is shown.

specific jump scare ep 8, 2.5 minutes in, things jump out of the ground to attack geralt

Characters spit up blood many times, and a character spits notably on screen in episode 6.

Complete List for Season 1: (Minor Spoilers) - In Episode 4 there are 2 scenes. When Yennefer goes through the portal with the woman and her baby, the woman vomits from shock. She retches, gets up, then about 30 second later falls over and vomits with sound and graphics. Second occurrence is near the end of the episode. Cirilla’s mother vomits directly after the wedding ceremony. Only lasts a few seconds, mute and look away for about 10-15 secs. - In Episode 5’s opening sequence, Mousesack vomits (sound & graphics) when confronted by the Nilfgaard. Vomit is in his beard for the rest of the scene until the title screen shows. I really recommend skipping it. If you do, here is a brief summary of the first 5-7 minutes: (MAJOR SPOILERS) **The head of the Nilfgaard drains Mousesack of his powers, kills him, and has a shapeshifter take his place. The Mousesack you see after the title sequence is a Nilfgaardian shapeshifter. **(END SPOILER) While this is not technically vomit, the bard does cough up blood a few times in this ep as well. It’s easy to see coming and averting your eyes for 5 seconds or so should be fine. - Final scene is in the last episode (Ep 8), right as the battle against the Nilfgaard begins. Tissaia orders Triss to execute her attack, which releases a crop of poisonous mushrooms. All of the men die puking and choking. Graphics w/ noises. Lasts around 30 seconds.

No hospitals in this universe but there is medical/herbal/magical treatments

Yennefer is obsessed with being "ugly." She is later "cured" by magically changing her appearance to "beautiful." She believes changing her looks makes her a better, more powerful person and will fix everything.

We see someone jump from a window, as well as some people supplied with a potion to die in episode 1.

A girl attempts suicide by cutting herself in the beginning of episode 2 (before the opening credits). It is not shown, but her wrists are later shown wrapped with bloody bandages.

Yennefer is frequently gaslit by her instructor in covert ways.

Not autism, no, but I feel it's worth mentioning that Yennefer was born with a hunchback, she is treated like she's "disfigured" due to the hump and her jaw being unsymmetrical, it seems to also be assumed that she is dumb or slow. during the time period, people that are different like a "defect" or "disability" are considered lesser people, disgusting and sold as slaves. Obviously, a hunchback isn't remotely like autism but the abilest bigotry is there.

In episode 3, Geralt climbs into a tomb/sarcophagus and closes the lid.

No, but there are repeated discussions of infertility and forced sterilization which may be upsetting to folks who are sensitive to miscarriage (I sure was...)

There is a monster that is described as an "overgrown abortion" which [spoiler] was created by a curse placed on the fetus of a dead pregnant woman.

We don't see it, but the death of a pregnant woman is discussed in episode 3.

Mentioned in Episode One

The story in episode 3 revolves around an incestuous relationship/the product of one

Geralt is consistently hated and put down for being a mutant and Yennefer is insulted and attacked for a physical deformity and impoverished upbringing

In episode two, there is a scene with an introductory magic lesson. The only black student present is also the only character to be magically injured. She does not die.

episode 3 ****SPOILER AHEAD**** shows the physically disabled character being "cured" of her physical disability, changing into a "beautiful" physically abled character.

Cliffhanger

No planes in this universe.

By suicide in episode 1.

No cars in this universe.

Young disabled girl is treated unkindly by many, in a school type setting many teen girls are treated very strictly and not with much worth.

There are several graphic scenes (fighting, cutting, head blown up).

S1E3 You could consider Geralt closing himself into the crypt as somewhat being buried alive, but I wouldn't consider it truly being buried alive.

No guns in this universe

No nukes in this universe

Episode 4, a baby. Death not shown, but body is. (The baby has really pale skin because of the death, but nothing gore/disturbing).

No but there is talk about a scaffolding being built for a hanging.

In episode 5 a character is attacked by magical means and struggles to breathe. It goes on for several minutes. It happens right after Geralt finds a sealed clay vessel in the river when he is looking for a djinn.

No cars in this universe
