Suicide
The first episode starts with a person alone on a train platform at night. They appear dazed but content. They strip naked (we only see them from behind), and step onto the tracks. They gaze at the light of an oncoming train and walk towards it as it nears. From a distance, we see the train hit them. This is over very quickly, with no blood, though we hear a thud of impact.
Content that may disturb, cruelty, self-harm, and violence
There is frequent violence, including fist fights that result in bloody injury.
We see a child who has been tied up and put in the boot of a car, but they are rescued.
A car is deliberately rammed by another vehicle to try to run them off the road, resulting in a fiery accident. We are shown the charred corpse in a morgue, and two people start mutilating it before the camera cuts away.
There is depiction of a cult-like, secretive commune.

A character is understood to have taken hallucinogenic drugs before killing themself.
Sex scenes
We see a drug-induced orgy on small surveillance screens in an illicit science lab.
