Not necessarily a slur but definition racism: in episode 3, a Lafferty wife is arrested and in one of her answers to Detective Taba's question of "when are the end of days going to be here?" (not verbatim) she makes inference to the fact that Taba is an American Indian and he will be one of the first to go so he'd better "make his way to a baptismal font quickly" - assuming she's meaning he needs to attone for the "sin" of being a POC.

Not sure if it qualifies as assault but in episode 2 a man locks the door and closes the curtains and isolates his woman student and touches her unnecessarily on her hands and asks her to smile. While not "completed" all of the red flags are there.

There is a scene, at the end of episode two, in which Joseph Smith is dragged outside, stripped of his shirt, and threatened with having body parts cut off. While it doesn't happen, the scene is intense and could be triggering.

Yes, though of an animal and not a person, in episode two. If you want to avoid it, skip the scene with Joseph Smith and his wife walking arm-and-arm in a settlement.

At 58 minutes into episode 3 the character Robin grabs what looks like a penknife / switchblade and attempts what looks like SH. Unsure if he was trying to SH or commit, but the scene can certainly triggering.
The scene lasts from 58:10 through to 58:35

Around 18 minutes into episode three, there's some shaky cams. It happens right as Pyre is discussing how Mormons were sent to be killed. Doesn't last for too long, and the shaky cam isn't that intense, but it's certainly shaky

At the beginning of episode 4, Pyre's mother says that if Jews do not accept Christ, they will go to Hell with Hitler. She is clearly suffering from dementia and does not speak from a true place of hatred, but the verbiage can be triggering nonetheless.

In episode three, at 18 minutes in, there's quite heavy gun violence. Lasts around two minutes - if you skip this scene you won't miss much though

Where to Watch
In the second instance (about 53 minutes in) Allen describes a story about his father beating a dog to death with a baseball bat. You see a flashback of the father with the bat but they do not show the dog. I had the show muted so I’m not sure if you can hear the dog cry.
