A character is struck by a vehicle and is shown to be bleeding out on the ground in Episode 4. That's the goriest part of the series I think. Another character falls from a great height in Episode 5, and their body is shown in the aftermath, but only a little blood and no bones/guts. Some partially decomposed bodies are shown in brief glimpses. Not a gory series besides those examples.

Episode 4, timestamp 5:08-5:18, a woman mentions she wishes she'd had a daughter to pass on her old dress to, then jokes with a quick roll of her eyes that a certain one of her sons might have liked it. As a trans woman who's generally sensitive to this trigger, I actually chuckled at the line and considered it positive, since she says it rather lovingly and with a smile and the person she's talking to doesn't react, all a relief considering the scene takes place in the 70s or 80s. It just came off to me as a quick reference to her likely having a gay son, but I'm still voting Yes because I could certainly understand more negative interpretations.

In Episode 8, a character is shown to be slowly dying from a chronic illness. It's clear they're suffering, often kept in bed and needing to be cared for by others. It's a major part of the episode. In the first 4 episodes, a character mentions their mother is suffering from dementia and needs to be cared for. The mother is not seen, but the impact of her illness is called a "burden" and discussed in detail by the character.
