Description

Portrayals of rape/incest in the show are nongraphic, mostly implied, and arguably shown in a negative light, but viewer discretion strongly advised. These themes appear in many episodes across the series, but episode 33 is particularly notable for its potentially disturbing statutory rape scene. The show uses surrealism to convey some events and themes, including sexual violence. In particular, cars are strongly linked to many of the implied assaults. Because of the way the series deals with same-sex attraction and relationships, there is also an element of corrective rape in some scenes which some viewers may find disturbing. There are explicit scenes in which an adult grooms a teenager. Among other things, the series is largely about overcoming abuse and breaking out of toxic gender norms.
