Description

S1E4: this episode implies that a teenage girl may have had a relationship or violent encounter with a much older rock star, but it turns out that this has not happened. S2E12 (Christmas special): a female character is murdered in a particularly gruesome way that involves gynaecological injury. A male character openly talks about deceiving a younger woman in an attempt to get her to sleep with him, because he fetishises her virginity, and hints that he is planning to put something in her drink (ie, may rape her). None of the other characters take any issue with this and it is treated as normal conversation between men. S3E1: a male character visits two prostitutes. S3E4: a woman is groomed and sexually assaulted by her much older uncle for many years starting when she was a teenager. We see him beating her onscreen while she describes their romantic and sexual relationship. She then tricks a man with amnesia into believing that he is her husband and they have been in love for many years and they have a sexual and romantic relationship based on her taking advantage of his amnesia. S4E6: this episode revolves around footage of a teenage girl's face as she winces in pain and breathes heavily. For most of the episode, viewers are led to believe that this is on-screen footage of her being raped by her uncle. It later turns out not to be a video of sexual violence, but that she was stabbed. Whether or not she was ever sexually abused by her uncle remains unclear. S5(Christmas special): in a film within the episode, multiple women are strapped to a wooden table, where it is implied that they are tortured and raped, though this is not shown onscreen. In the same film within the episode, another woman is shown screaming on a bed struggling to escape from beneath a man who is clearly about to rape her (although both are fully clothed and the rape is not shown onscreen, writing onscreen specifies that she will be a victim of his "lechery"). All of these depictions are heavily sexualised and clearly intended to be "titillating." In the context of the episode, these women are actresses in a tasteless film, rather than genuine victims of rape and torture.
