The dog doesn't die on camera and they only show it in passing in the background, but you can still tell the kids are poking a dog.

Possibly. A cabin boy is abused: I don't believe his age is given and the actor is 21 but cabin boys were often 16 or younger and he's definitely implied to be quite young, so it's worth being careful.

The writer and director Andrew Haigh confirmed all scenes of animal cruelty and death were achieved with a mix of cgi and prosthetics. The credits also confirm no animals were harmed in the making of the show.

Seals and whales are killed and visibly butchered. A polar bear is also killed and butchered in a very graphic way with a lot of focus on the gore of it.

In episode 1 there is a dead dog on the street, pigs in a butcher shop, and they kill and skin several seals towards the end of the episode. In episode 2 they kill a whale and flense it.

Sumner examines a teenage cabin boy who complains of stomach pain and realizes he’s been raped. He treats his wounds and the boy is too scared to disclose who raped him. Sumner attempts to discuss it with the captain, Brownlee. The boy is called to the captain and his experience is dismissed. The boy is still too frightened to disclose who did it and is clearly distressed. The captain tells Summer to leave it and nothing further is done.

Off-screen, the cabin boy has been sexually assaulted and there is discussion about his injuries.

A minor side character is raped. We don’t see it happen, but the aftermath is discussed and his experience is dismissed.

In episode 1 about 44 minutes into the episode, a storm comes up and Sumner gets seasick; he v* into a bucket with graphic visuals and some audio. // At the very end of episode 3, around 48 minutes in, Sumner retches but does not actually v* yet. Then at the 50 minute mark he runs off and retches again for about a minute more. Doesn’t actually v* the second time either. // The rest of the episodes are safe.
