Season 1 episode 3: A woman gets a bath ready and upon getting in you can see a silhouette or body. Not graphic at all.
Some Kissing Scenes Every Season Including Sex References But Quite Mild.
Occasional sex scene, not usually very revealing but theres enough.

Violence & Gore

Severe

It is nearly impossible to see an episode without a death in it and the violence gets more intense as the show goes on. Decapitated bodies with their heads lying next to them and lots of stabbing and shooting, but most of it is against monsters.
Human as well as non-human monsters are shown dying throughout the series.
Many instances of characters limbs getting decapitated but most are against monsters or vampires.
Quite a few instances of cannibalism but are extremely graphic, however they are still disturbing and not sugarcoated.
We will see actual moments of violence occur and we also see lots of blood what is seen and on screen.
In one episode a vampire is decapitated with a wire. Probably one of the more violent moments in the series.
