There is vague domestic abuse, as Beth's biological parents argue a lot and her adoptive father isn't very nice to her adoptive mother. No violence, a lot of harsh words

Beth begins drinking at 15 years old when she steals a bottle of alcohol from a classmates house. From this point forward she begins to drink more as the show progresses, and in episode 6 we see her on a bender for an extended amount of time

There are multiple scenes of Beth's mother committing suicide, mostly as flashbacks for relevance. No body is shown, no blood is shown, just the crashed car and news reporters talking about it. Also, Beth's adoptive mother dies from alcohol poisoning later on, no blood but a dead body is shown

Episodes 1-5, 7 are SAFE. There's only one scene in Episode 6 where the protagonist v* into a trophy (both audio and visual). Skip 48:10 - 48:22.

Not urine or feces, but Beth has her first period unexpectedly and you can see the blood running down her leg.

No n-words, but some vague slurs are used. A black woman repeatedly calls a white woman 'cracker' as an affectionate nickname.

Depends what you consider to be "large." There's a relationship where the characters are about 18 and 26, but the actors are both adults in their 20s/30s.

Beth’s orphanage is a Christian orphanage, there are several bible verses recited while she is there. Later in the series, a Christian organization speaks to Beth about promoting Christianity in exchange for money to go to an international chess tournament. Beth declines this saying that what they would like her to say is garbage

A very mild scene where Beth hooks up with a friend at a party. Consensual on both's behalf. No nudity shown, but thrusting and groaning is. Beth looks mildly uncomfortable throughout it
