The dog injured in the explosion hurts me deeply. I am so sick of dogs being killed or injured in films and TV shows. To me it seems like it is happening more and more. I feel it is a sign of how far we have fallen as a society. I don’t think animals/dogs were shown being killed or maimed in films in the past because the people of the time wouldn’t stand for it but today people don’t care about anything let alone animals so writers do it without even thinking. Breaks my heart.
The creator and crew have made it very clear that no animals have been harmed during the filming. There are multiple articles detailing how carefully the “animal actors” are treated.
In the first episode alone, the opening scene, a house is badly injured and trapped by an accident and the main character has to shoot him. Horrifying but Humane and he shows great care to express that he wouldn't want this.
Just started watching - opening scene of s1ep1 is the main character talks to his horse moments before shooting it (after being shown its graphic injuries from subsequent road accident), numerous cattle/bison deaths, a couple of fish (from when the boys go fishing), shown a dead elk about to be devoured by wolves (though scene doesn't go that far), episode 2 a graphic scene of a coyote getting mowed down by a truck, a brief glimpse of an injured dog from a house explosion... somehow I think every episode will have animal deaths... don't know if I can continue...
I don’t know if this considered “animal abuse” but cattle are branded in a few episodes and it’s kinda hard to watch. Along with cattle getting roped and tied.
S1ep3; youngster Tate fights a large rattlesnake in a dry drainpipe when he is told to hide there by his father - when his father returns he is triumphantly holding the dead snake (having killed it before it could bite him)
Season 3 , a main female character is attacked by 2 men in her office. It’s very violent and one man does attempt to rape her. She is violently beaten, but her own words save her from the sexual part. It’s tough to watch.
Kind of. *spoiler* When Jimmy is in the hospital, his girlfriend has sex with him even though he says no and never changes his answer. It's not really a joke, but it's definitely making light of blatantly disregarding a man NOT giving consent.
Beth eluded to cheating on a man because it will “break generations,” she says what’s the point in breaking a single man. Refers to him being married with three children
Season 1 - A major character is revealed to have had colon cancer but the tumor was removed. In the season 2 premiere, the diagnosis is addressed again and it is confirmed the character no longer has cancer
Season 3 - a wrangler makes a joke about someone having cancer and that they have a week to live
Season 4 - a character jokes that she wants another character to die off “ass cancer” and in a later episode a character says she doesn’t want her father to get prostate cancer
I don’t really know what to call it. At one point Beth describes her diet as smoking until lunch then drinking at dinner. It’s been a while since I’ve watched, but I think that could be triggering to anyone who has issues with dieting and food, from what I can recall.
I believe theres a purposeful wreck caused by the protagonist in an attempt to push a van off of the road to stop them. A gun fight ensues shortly after
