Description

In all the episodes of this series, incest, rape and child sexual abuse are present and/or discussed. S1E1: from the beginning, there is implied attraction between two characters who believe they are brother and sister. It is later revealed that they are not related at which point they pursue a relationship. The sister previously had a consensual sexual relationship with a different teenage boy who she did not know she was related to at the time. When she finds out they are related, she tries to end their relationship, but he continues to pursue her regardless and attempts to force himself on her in scenes at 46:00 and 1:12:00. S1E2 (Secrets of the Morning): the main character has a sexual relationship with her college professor and becomes pregnant by him. It is arranged for her to stay with her great aunt while pregnant but the woman is a religious fanatic who subjects the main character to an invasive reproductive exam as "penance" for her "sins". It is also discussed that another character conceived a child by rape from her father-in-law but this is not shown on screen. S1E3 (Twilight's Child): a teen character makes allegations that her adoptive father sexually abused her but later admits they were false. This teen character tries to pressure two younger children into stripping and touching each other but it is stopped before they go too far. The main character has a sexual relationship with (and later marries) a man she grew up with as a brother, although they were previously confirmed to not be blood-related. An adult brother tries to rape his adult sister at 1:01:03 but she fights him off. S1E4 (Midnight Whispers): a brother tries to grab and touch his sister inappropriately at 8:45 and 14:43. An uncle attempts to rape his 16-year-old niece at 33:20, but she escapes. This occurs again at 1:18:50 but she is able to get away again and he is later arrested.
