As a joke, the family dog sometimes consumes smaller animals due to its craving for sustenance. This is done offscreen, and it is not bloody.

An animal assaults another animal. Episode 3. Offscreen a "cat" forces itself onto a turkey in a grocery store. A nature documentary about the animal depicts a similar phenomenon.

Though, notably, a character lies about attempting suicide in order to get his stomach pumped at the ER.

In the supermarket scene of the pilot episode, there is a scene where Helen has to choose paper or plastic, and a lot of horrible noises happen on repeat at this time. Outside of this, the family dog tends to make very pained noises a lot.

A little. Helen has a not kind father who says things like "colored people" and sexualizes the idea of a lesbian couple. He does not speak a lot, but it is there. There is also Episode 4, which has some racism. Gerald is looking for a white-only gardening company so that he is not supporting the exploitation of immigrants. One he thinks is all white actually has some people of color working, and when he brings up the topic he is called a racist. Later in the episode, Gerald worries that HE might be the one hurting everybody (he's not), and he envisions himself as a plantation owner hurting people for a moment.

Margot does this to Helen a lot, saying things which cause Helen to spiral into rethinking her life philosophies. While Helen knows Margot is not a good person, she still finds herself manipulated by her words and second-guessing herself.

There is a scene in the pilot with two characters hiding behind a curtain, huddled together in close proximity. That is all.

Gerald goes to the hospital at one point. He gets his stomach pumped at one point in time, but you do not see it happen. You see him in bed and he is absolutely fine.

The protagonists use an outdoor rainwater shower to bathe. You see their heads and feet poking out of the ends of the large barrel which makes up the shower, and they will talk to each other like this. Nothing notably terrible happens.

In the super market, a baby cry is played in the background of a "tense scene" where Helen has to choose between paper or plastic. It is rather agonizing, but this is the only instance of it.

The beginning of one in the pilot and only the pilot. Helen is struggling to remember the term she should use to describe her PoC neighbor, so she begins saying the beginning of words, stopping herself because she is unsure. One of these attempts is her saying "nee", but it is obvious the word she is going for. She does not finish this word.

Notably, an episode involving N*zi convicts doing community service has people gossip about whether or not Helen has ties to N*zism. Tattoos are present on their bodies, but aside from a swastika there are none clearly depicted. There are no antisemetic words or phrases used throughout the episode.

Sex is a topic brought up in the pilot episode because Helen doesn't know if Bliss is sexually active or not. While the topic is never actually discussed, there is at least imagery of a condom equivalent of a tube man at a sex ed booth.
