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.

Women and children are controlled by their family members.

It is implied that Agnes husband was abusive to her: references to Mr Van Rhijn as “not someone you’d want to be alone with” and her having suffered to provide for herself and her sister (by marrying him).

A father disapproves of his daughter’s marriage and tells her her baby died when really he stole the baby and sent it away.

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.

S1E4 39:00-40:30 a teen vaguely describes having been sexually abused and her mother not protecting her.
40:30-43:00 a woman tries to seduce a man by getting into a man’s bed naked, and kissing his neck in his sleep.

There is extremely strong societal pressure to be married, but nothing aimed specifically at asexual or aromantic characters (although a gay character is negatively impacted by 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.
