There are mentions to how the shelby father abandoned his kids ten years earlier. it is shown that they suffered from it, the father returns in this episode. Later the father abandoned again his oldest son (now an 30 yo adult who chose to believe in him). I guess that counts as such

YES. Horse servitude is a common theme throughout the series. Racing, riding, and carriage/“working” horses in the background are a common sight. Many scenes where the horses are made to walk through chaotic sets, showing clear signs of distress.

Spoiler!!! Do not go on if you don’t want it spoiled. There is a scene season 2 ep 6 where Tommy is to dig his own grave. I would have watched it had I known it doesn’t get to completion, but because it seemed like he was going to be forced to burry himself alive, it gave me great anxiety. Not to worry tho, watch it as it is a satisfying scene.

It’s a series and not yet done. In general the seasons turn out good in the end.

A car explodes as a result of a bomb being planted in it, killing two (one child) and injuring 2 other children. Not sure if that counts as a crash but oh well

One of the bloodier episodes of the show as several scenes take place in a kitchen where animals are being butchered. A violent scene takes place here and there is blood literally everywhere.

There is a discussion about a man who drowned in a river off-screen before the show's events, and in season 5 a man is drowned in paint.

Graphic from the start. Most notably in season 4 episode 1 and 2
