In a flashback, in season 3, a main character removes the limbs of a strigoi, locks them in a trunk, sails out to the middle of the ocean, and drops the trunk into the water. The limbless-strigoi was still 'living' when the trunk was dropped into the ocean, and most likely lived for a while afterwards.

A child is dragged across a laboratory over to a vampire in a cage and told “this is what your mother is now.” The child was held against the cage and his head turned to look at the vampire before another character comes in and says “enough.” The scene occurs around 20 minutes in.

You don’t see the horse die but you do see one dead on the ground and it is a bit graphic. You’ll know the part is coming when a character is climbing out of a well and you start to hear flies

In one of the internment camp scenes after the character who has been watching the vampire feed decides to get up and attack the vampire there is pretty graphic finger mutilation. All of a

A man’s fingers are broken during one of the internment camp scenes pretty graphically. His fingers are all bent back the wrong way and the next several minutes of the episode include shots of him struggling with his broken fingers.

Part of the Strigoi transformation process is one’s external genitalia turning black and falling off. We only see the after-effects, with a smooth and featureless pubic area.

Latter half of this season features a love triangle situation involving a male character and two female characters (female character A’s ex, female character B, comes into the picture after being absent for a time. Character A had started seeing character C, a man, in the meantime. Character A struggles with feelings for both characters B and C and sends mixed signals through words and actions to both). Lines are blurry because the couples hadn’t discussed exclusivity, but both partners seem to have thought it was implied. Emotional and physical cheating is involved.

One of the main good guys is a Holocaust survivor, and one of the main bad guys was a N**i officer. Said bad guy frequently demeans the good guy referring to him either as "The Jew" or by the number on his arm. There are scenes in concentration camps as they explore the good guy's story in the past. There are deaths, violence, and vampire gore as well - all on jewish prisoners in the camp.

One of the main villains is a literal N**i so there’s a lot of hate speech in regards to the Jewish people throughout the show.
