The Ransomes have a dog that appears in a few scenes, but no harm is done to him and he is fine throughout the show :)

Flashbacks to a woman being burned by her husband during/after sex, it is unclear whether the sex was consensual. A young girl is forcibly kissed by a boy even when she says stop, but she manages to push him off and run away before it can go further.

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.

Will is seen to be wrestling a sheep in the mud in episode one, but it is revealed that he was rescuing it from being stuck and the scene ends with Will and Cora saving the sheep and it being safely put back on the grass.

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

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.

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
