The bear gets shot in the party scene near the end of the first episode. It’s pretty fake looking but does happen.
A raccoon is also killed in the second episode, and a doe is shown being shot (again, it looks very fake).

In the second episode a dog and a raccoon are put in a tree trunk together presumably to fight. The dog comes out covered in blood but unharmed, insinuating it killed the raccoon.

Dead bear in first episode, several dead birds, a crocodile that is brutally stabbed, etc. This show has just lots of dead animals.

In season 2, two characters eat some sort of psychedelic plant. This is shown as a positive experience. There is also copious consumption of alcohol, including while a character is pregnant. The same character, also while pregnant, takes what is essentially cocaine to stay awake.

Catherine is penetrated (fingers) by a clergymen in the first episode. This is mentioned throughout the season and she seems traumatized by it. In another scene, a man starts to have sex with a corpse.

Given the iffy power dynamics with royalty even supposedly willing encounters are essentially occuring under an implicit threat. Peter beats Leo and threatens to kill him if he doesn't "satisfy" Catherine, and whoever is ruling the country with absolute authority at the moment can't really have uncoerced encounters with anyone... especially someone they've threatened/attempted to kill. Which happens frequently.

In Ep 1, Catherine holds a knife over her wrist while she considers cutting. She decides not to.

Orlo by the Patriarch but he doesn’t die. There is some blood.

To add more detail, the scene in episode 4 where the priest burns himself alive is not overly graphic or prolonged. We see him light his robes on fire and he makes a couple of pained sounds but the camera focuses mostly on the onlookers' faces.

EPISODE 2
Decapitated heads of dead Swedish enemies are placed around on silver trays on the formal dinning table during dinner service. Then (at around the 41 minute mark) the emperor pulls the eyeballs out of one of them. Then everyone stands and does the same, including empress Catherine.

S01E09 contains very graphic torture scenes. Peter decides to have everyone at court tortured to discover who is plotting against him. It shows terrified people awaiting their turn to be tortured as well as graphic depictions of the torture itself. Several of the main characters are among the victims but they're OK afterward. Like most of the other horrors in this show, it's played as dark humour, but could still be very upsetting.

There are soldiers shown to be missing legs and arms, as well as multiple decapitated heads. The act is not shown on screen, but it is gruesome.

Though no parents die on screen, the dead body of the emperor's mother, preserved in a glass case, is shown several times. This is played as dark humor. His father, also dead, is mentioned frequently, but his death itself is never brought up.

A regular plot point is the emperor sleeping with his best friends wife. The friend is aware but is clearly regularly distressed by this.

At one point someone starts to get eaten by a bear. You only see the beginning and then the camera goes back to a character who is running from the scene.

There’s a particularly graphic vomit scene in episode 5 around 13:50 until 14:20.

No one is explicitly mentioned to have a mental illness, but most characters have at least one moment when they behave violently

in episode 2, a character up put in a fairly small box and dropped into a body of water. the character is released before any damage is done, but it may be upsetting to some viewers.

An adult woman is betrothed to a young boy. Their relationship is unsexual and not romantic in nature but they do refer to eachother as husband and wife

So much sexual content. Just so much. Of every kind. In every episode. In most of the scenes in every episode.

frequently joked that one character had sex with a horse (untrue) and a drawing of a character having sex with a donkey is shown briefly. No actual cases of beastiality
