Description

Rape and sexual assault are common in the show: it is mentioned constantly and multiple characters are assaulted. An adult manager very clearly attempts to sleep with a high schooler who works with him. The main character's pregnancy is revealed to be the result of rape. A main character (teenage girl) has an ambiguous relationship with an unrelated middle aged man whose daughter has gone missing. While it does not seem overtly sexual, it has strong reminisce of grooming. S1E1: a police officer is shown in a car receiving fellatio from a young boy (this can only be seen from the waist up through the car windows). S1E2: it is implied that two underage teens have sex offscreen S1E4: in a conversation between characters, one describes a rape scene from the film “The Evil Dead.” A male exposes himself to girls in a changing room; his groin is not shown, but their reactions are. S1E5: this episode contains a couple of mild verbal sexual harassment scenes. A girl meets up with an older man who wants to pretend she’s his dead daughter - it is unclear whether he has a sexual motive for this. S1E6: this episode starts with a teenage girl recounting her experience of being drugged and raped at a party, which includes a flashback of her face during the rape. The scene ends at 02:30. 14 minutes and 40 seconds in, an initially consensual makeout scene between teenagers starts to become an assault. The boy says “you like it rough” and it seems like an attempted rape is about to happen, but the girl manages to de-escalate. 31 minutes in, a girl is asked out by a boy, and she imagines saying yes. The imagined evening ends with her making out with him, saying stop and he does not: the episode flips back in time to him asking and she says no. 39 minutes in, a conversation about someone who had been raped and committed suicide takes place.. 43 minutes in, a character talks about having been raped, but cannot recall any details. S1E7: 12 minutes and 30 seconds in, a teenage girl who has been raped before has an uncomfortable conversation with teenage boys. They claim that horror films showing graphic rape scenes is a ‘product of their times,’ and criticise her for not having ‘critical distance’ from them.
