Description

Abusive relationships are a major theme of the first season. The depictions of domestic violence vary in intensity throughout the seasons and occur in most episodes and rape is discussed and depicted in detail. S1E2: a character is raped on-screen following an altercation with her emotionally and physically abusive husband. S1E3: one woman grapples with the emotional implications of raising a son who was conceived when she was raped. This conflict is revealed partially through flashbacks to the rape itself.
