During episode one of this 2021 reboot, at 44:39… Dexter has been having an encounter with a beautiful white buck out in the snow. He had a gun but decided not to shoot it because it came up to him and he realized he couldn’t kill it because of its sweet, expressive eyes and gentle demeanor. Of course just as he starts gently petting it, some heartless total a*****e from offscreen suddenly blows it away with a high-powered rifle. We see blood splatters on Dexter’s face and the deer staggers and falls down dead as the hunter p***k yells WOOOOO!! YEEEAHHHH!! On the bright side, (SPOILER ALERT)
if you’ve seen Dexter, you know what Dexter does when to someone who kills an innocent. After 45.00 it is fairly safe to watch, BUT you do see the deer’s body with blood around it and Dexter has to cut the deceased deer’s throat, and because the snow is pure white it stands out in contrast. Actually I guess it’s technically a buck with antlers.

A beautiful white buck is shot and killed by some rotten b*****d of a trophy hunter. See under “Is an animal killed?” for exact times. We see it die and the pool of blood, which looks more severe because of the contrast of the blood on the white snow. The dead buck’s throat is cut soon after for reasons that are a spoiler to explain.

Mild Spoiler - Episode 5. Green haired girl. When he tells her to run, look away until you hear a shot (ca. 41:20). If you also want to avoid the bloody aftermath, skip to about 41:46. It is shown again later in the episode. Look away when you see someone kneading clay

Episode 6, close to the end, during the wrestling match. Visible and audible breaking of an arm (no visible bone, but still close up image and disturbing). After Kurt tells Harrison to take his rage out on his opponent. The scene is repeated at the beginning of Episode 7 and 8, so watch out for that too (or simply skip the recaps). Again in Episode 8 around 19:58. Also a couple of broken noses here and there..

Well, it's Dexter, so there is stabbing. There are however a few instances where cuts are made or shown: a large cut on someone's thigh is shown (as a photo), in Dexter's imagination some cuts are made (but not shown in detail) and there's a brief scene at a party, in which a girl asks Harrison to cut her ankle, which is shown in detail. Green haired girl slashes someone's face with a mirror shard (small cut, very little blood) and the buck at the beginning has its throat cut by Dexter to end its suffering. Later it's cut open and disemboweld. I'm sensitive to cutting and I didn't think it was that bad as far as I've watched (Episode 7) but it surely is a recurring thing in this mini series.

The opening sequence of the episode shows Dexter in the past as he targets a serial killer who works as a clown entertaining children. I’d recommend skipping this whole scene if clowns are a major trigger for you.

Episode 2, right before the 16 minute mark, as soon as Angela drives away in her cruiser we hear Lily v*. No visual, not sure how graphic the sound is because I had the tv on mute.
Episodes 3 and 4 are safe.
Although it seems touch and go, episode 5 is safe.
6 is good.

Not exactly, but it does cut it a bit close. Harrison is romantically involved with Audrey, who is the daughter of Dexter’s girlfriend Angela. They have a brief conversation about how they would become siblings if their parents married.
