Mrs. Russell is very controlling of Gladys, including reading her mail, firing her maid who helps her meet a friend, and not allowing her to take an adult role in society. This is a result of her social climbing (as marriages are tools) and is largely resolved by the end of the season, but may be upsetting to viewers.

At the very end of season 1 episode 8, dead chickens are shown being butchered. It’s possible the death of one is shown, but I looked away. After Bertha Russel is rushed out of the Astor house through the kitchen, look away to miss it.

No, but we witness micro aggressions towards Peggy Scott and she is largely relegated to a Black Best Friend role.

S1E4 has a scene where Marian crashes Mrs Scott’s birthday party with a carpet bag of old shoes as a gift. This is portrayed as cringeworthy but is still hard to watch.

S1E8 a white servant snoops on a Black secretary until finally she leaves her job: the white employer agrees she should have fired the white servant but does not.
