Beginning in a time of relative peace, we follow an ensemble cast of characters as they confront the re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth.

In episode 1, at 37:27, there is a scene where (presumably) an animal carcass is visible. The skin has been removed, so it looks upsetting.

Episode 3 around the 33:00 mark a man tries to escape a beating and is held back.

Around the 1:00:00 mark it becomes obvious that those held by the orcs are chained by their feet.

Sort of? In Ep 4, a room full of women holding babies is swallowed into the ocean. It's a vision of the future, so it hasn't happened yet, but the imagery and sound were still hard to get through.

Someone is sort of temporarily eaten by a tree, but they're fine. At one point, in a foggy cemetery, someone is pulled into a hole in the ground and maybe sort of kind of eaten. Later 2 people are pulled down into the mud by a monster and I think maybe they're temporarily eaten by it, but they're ok, too.

In 1x05, Durin tells Elrond to “fetch his feathery shirts” when he agrees to help him, taking a jab at his Elvish attire which is far less stereotypically ‘manly’ than what dwarves tend to wear. It is more meant as a friendly jab though, given that Durin and Elrond are close friends, and Elrond takes no offense

"Harfoots" are presented as always dirty migrant people, with fake, exaggerated Irish accents. So... There's that... If you wanna look at it in a meta way: the ancestors of the hobbits, that are supposedly depicted here, were not like this either. At all.

There is a wreck at sea and it is implied that several people die, whether by drowning or injury, although we don’t see this.

It's surprisingly gory at some points, in a way, that does not otherwise fit the general tone. It feels like they wanted to be shocking/edgy, like the sudden horse beheading at the beginning of game of thrones (with the body horror cow and the unnecessarily graphic arm bone breaking and medical procedure).

Not nuclear, but an explosion or eruption of similar magnitude occurs
