  • A few sex scenes, one in particular shows a man penetrating a woman in bed from behind where she is heard moaning. No nudity, although the woman in one of the sex scenes is stripped down to her underwear.
  • A teenage girl strips down to her bra and panties and takes photos of herself and sends the images to her boyfriend. He then replies with photos of himself (no nudity).

Violence & Gore

  • In once scene, a man shoots dead his entire family.

Profanity

  • One character in particular is quite vulgar in her conversations. There are a few scenes where the dialogue is quite coarse and uncouth.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Most episodes show scenes of people drinking wine with their meals or after work relaxing.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • As a man recounts events that happened in the house he describes a cultish ritual involving an infant sacrifice. Very disturbing.

  • You see people in the house in the distance walking past when no one should be there. It's created for jump scare dramatic scenes.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Violence & Gore

  • A murdered baby is shown. This scene is brief but bloody and disturbing. Although the series is based on true story, this never happened in real life.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The show is about a family getting letters from a stalker that watches them while they try figure out who it is. The whole show is pretty creepy and disturbing.
  • In the first episode, the son's pet ferret gets out of his cage overnight and the ferret is showing being grabbed by a dark figure. Later the next morning the ferret is shown dead and there is a pool of blood shown next to him. This could be a very intense scene for those who are more sensitive to animal cruelty. (No actual animal cruelty is shown in this scene.)
  • Although the series is based on true events, many things in the show did not happen. Including the cult scene with the baby.
