A sister is extremely cruel to her brother in various ways. I'm only on episode 1 and she has already repeatedly bullied and harassed him as well as lured him to be briefly kidnapped and then cut and stabbed by a friend of hers.

S1 E2: Annalise is in the car with David (the boy from bowling) and she rejects his advances and is clearly uncomfortable and then at 33:35-33:55 he grabs her thigh with his hand as an attempt, despite her rejecting him and Annalise shouts his name telling him to stop before something happens that stops it.

there is stuff that could be considered sexual assault. i will be explaining in minor detail, so be wary.
// nathan is pinned down and kissed on the lips by a witch possessing a family member’s body. the scene is at the end of episode one. it was definitely unnecessary and could potentially be triggering. later on, annalise is in a car with another boy and he starts getting angry when she doesn’t want to have sex again. he puts his hand on her thigh, and that’s about as far as it goes. those are the two main instances of this.

Somewhat, as there are some scenes where characters eyes will become extremely bloodshot and bloated due to another character’s powers, and I believe it is implied that their eyes explode but I’m not sure if that is at any point explicitly shown.

The main antagonist tears bodies apart and rips out thier hearts. Another character can explode people and doesn’t have the best control of thier power. So, there is a lot of blood, guts and viscera throughout.

It *is* consensual possession, but it's also played as creepy and unsettling for the viewer and the protagonist. If a character seeing their loved one suddenly taken over by something Creepy And Wrong™️ would be triggering for you, you may want to skip forward a few minutes when Gran takes a deep breath of steam from the stove.

not sure if this counts as self harm, but there are a lot of self-inflicted wounds made for the purpose of drawing blood (for a ritual). there are multiple of these throughout the show.

The hate speech in the show is used between two different types of witches that despise each other. The terms used against these groups can be reminiscent of racist and other hate speech with talks of barbarians and uncivilized people.

lots of blood and gore; would categorize it as pretty gory and visceral show. however, i would say it's pretty tolerable compared to some other stuff, especially because it's in a fantasy context so it doesn't feel as real.
