The sex trade is a theme in this series, with women in the trade being murdered. S1E1: we learn through dialogue that a main character has historically been accused of sexual assault. S1E2: a woman clearly feels violated and that she hasnot given fully informed consent when she realises that her husband, by cheating on her without protection, has put her at risk of contracting an STD. S1E3: a woman who has a history in the sex trade mentions an occasion in her past when she was raped by six men, and further traumatised by the police reaction (the rape is not described in any further detail). S1E5: two men in the series are revealed to be brothers. When they were children, their mother regularly sold both of them to be sexually abused by a paedophile ring. There are some flashbacks but not of the actual sexual abuse, which is never shown onscreen.
