In the first instance (about 26 minutes into the episode) Joseph Smith hears someone yelling for help and runs to find that a group of men have a dog hung by the neck and you can hear the dog whining. I had to mute the show at this point but a few minutes later, the dog is shot and killed. You see it from a distance.

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.

In Episode 2, 52:50-54:00, one of the characters tells a story of when a dog was beaten to death. The dog isn't shown but there are clips with sound of the person hitting a bat down towards the camera.

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.

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.

In episode 2, someone threatens to cut someone else's penis off— and is fully in the position to do so— but ultimately doesn't.

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.

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

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.

Around the 43 minute mark of episode 3, Pyre's wife makes sexual reference to his penis. The two then begin to kiss on the bed and she unzips his pants, but the scene cuts before anything further is shown.

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
