Other comment is inaccurate - Naomi is alive at the end of the series, she did not commit suicide.
A woman dying of TB goes out into the river in a boat, choosing to die at that moment, however she is rescued.

Luke tries to tell Cora that she should do what he wants her to do instead of what she wants to do. He is very condescending and attempts to make her feel like her feelings are wrong.

Cora tells her son Frankie to "shut up about the serpent" and she yells at him once out of frustration but other than that there is no abuse towards him.

In episode one, a dead seagull is shown given as a sacrifice. We can see it's neck was slashed. Also dead rabbits (caught for food), eels (fish)?) and skinned squirrels. A goat is killed in Episode 4 (we do not see the killing, but there's a scene where a man is holding a knife in the foreground, and the next scene the goat is dead and dripping blood) and seen again dead in Ep 5. In episode 6 there is a dead whale that is seen washed up in the beach. It has some scratches but nothing too bloody or graphic.

EP1: In flashbacks, it is revealed that Cora's husband choked her and burned her with a hot iron during intercourse.
EP3: Naomi and Samuel (both minors) are seen in an alleyway kissing when Naomi says "you're hurting me" and asks him to stop. He keeps going, but she eventually pushes him away and runs away without being pursued by him.

Will has an affair with Cora. Will still loves his wife and regrets this. His wife, Stella, knows how he feels about Cora and seems not to be too upset over it. Martha and Garett also have an affair, even though it has been made clear that Garett has a crush on Cora and has spent lots of time with her

In episode one, some flashbacks of Cora's husband sexually abusing her causes her distress and anxiety. In episode 4, (SPOILER) Garett and Martha get drunk and end up in bed together. Short sex scene. Will and Cora also end up kissing in a field and having sex there as well. No nudity in this scene.

(EP6 spoiler) bittersweet ending. Stella passes away and Will grieves for her but then he is seen happy with Cora as his new love interest. Martha and Cora dont live together anymore but they make up.

Yes, there are a few (detailed) closeups of open heart surgery/open wounds in episode one. In episode 4, Matthew kills a goat, slits its throat and drains its blood into a bucket and then uses the blood to paint crosses on the villager's homes to ward of evil. Episode 5, Dr. Garett's hand gets sliced and then stabbed and there's some blood. Episode 6, bloodied cloths and bandages on Dr. Garett's hand

Kind of, within the first few minutes of episode 1, a teenage girl is standing in the water. The water ripples as a big creature moves through it (creature is not shown) but we hear the girl looking back at the camera and screaming. (SPOILER) At the end of episode 4, Naomi walks into the lake. It does not show her drowning but it is implied.
