The show does not treat this relationship as abusive.

She believes this second capture saved her life from the antagonists and she does not hold her abductor’s actions against him.

Even for this genre there is a lot of gore.
In episode 2, a character is badly wounded and tied to a tree as live bait. There are no closeups or lingering shots on his wounds.
In episode 3, a character sustains chemical burns over nearly all of his body and begs for a mercy killing. The gore is significant, but not gratuitous. There are face close-ups as part of the normal filmographic language used for characters having a conversation.
The killing is shown, but isn’t as bloody as it would be in real life.
The gore demonstrates how dire the situation is and add additional impact to the character’s reaction to this traumatic event.
In episode 7, a character is tortured on screen. The reproductions of the torture define the main plot going forward. The response the main cast has to the torture define many of them as characters. Some of the character’s have arches where they struggle with the torture.

All of the characters have their moments of violence and lashing out, some stemming from repressed trauma, PTSD, and depression. For example, at the beginning of season 3, jasper is shown picking fights and being violent with others when he’s in a state of severe depression and grief. In 1x12 when Murphy returns back to camp after being publicly hung as instructed by Bellamy, he’s on a mission to avenge his trauma and locks himself and Bellamy in the drop ship and forces Bellamy to reenact his trauma onto himself (essentially forces Bellamy to hang himself)
They frequently tell eachother to “go float yourself”. “Floating” was a process of executing a criminal by throwing them out into space. They use that term instead of “kill yourself”. Jasper also talks about “killing himself” and mentions that phrase multiple times throughout.
Throughout the show, multiple characters have to hide in confined spaces alone or with others, on multiple occasions. There are multiple references and flashbacks to a main character having to hide under the floorboards multiple times as a child over the years.
