In season 2, two characters eat some sort of psychedelic plant. This is shown as a positive experience. There is also copious consumption of alcohol, including while a character is pregnant. The same character, also while pregnant, takes what is essentially cocaine to stay awake.

The bear gets shot in the party scene near the end of the first episode. It’s pretty fake looking but does happen.
A raccoon is also killed in the second episode, and a doe is shown being shot (again, it looks very fake).

Given the iffy power dynamics with royalty even supposedly willing encounters are essentially occuring under an implicit threat. Peter beats Leo and threatens to kill him if he doesn't "satisfy" Catherine, and whoever is ruling the country with absolute authority at the moment can't really have uncoerced encounters with anyone... especially someone they've threatened/attempted to kill. Which happens frequently.

Catherine is penetrated (fingers) by a clergymen in the first episode. This is mentioned throughout the season and she seems traumatized by it. In another scene, a man starts to have sex with a corpse.

Most people must have answered this before seeing all seasons..
Man applies for divorce.
'I married and f****d Nadia, which was all i wanted really' Nadia is clearly a child.
Another 'couple' applies to be married. Catherine looks at them and announced 'New rule: you must be 15 to be wed'.
I cant remember if it was 15 or 14 or something but you get the gist.
The man looks at his fiance questioningly, she shakes her head.

To add more detail, the scene in episode 4 where the priest burns himself alive is not overly graphic or prolonged. We see him light his robes on fire and he makes a couple of pained sounds but the camera focuses mostly on the onlookers' faces.

S01E09 contains very graphic torture scenes. Peter decides to have everyone at court tortured to discover who is plotting against him. It shows terrified people awaiting their turn to be tortured as well as graphic depictions of the torture itself. Several of the main characters are among the victims but they're OK afterward. Like most of the other horrors in this show, it's played as dark humour, but could still be very upsetting.

In the first episode, Peter messes around with a gun that has a scope. A man is shot twice, and a bear is killed.
