Violence, trauma, and abuse in the home, and dysfunctional familial relationships in general are potentially the main theme of season one. This is a very triggering show for anyone who has experienced abuse or trauma in a familial or romantic relationship

Kind of drugged. In the flashback to the first interview Daniel provokes Louis, causing Louis to attack him and drink his blood. Daniel was high off a variety of drugs at the time, and Louis unintentionally becomes under the influence after drinking his blood, one of the events that builds up to his suicide attempt.

There are a few tense minutes in Episode 2 where it seems like Louis might have eaten a baby— he holds the baby and begins baring his fangs involuntarily, and when it cuts back to the present day he repeatedly dodges the question of whether he ate him. He did not, however, and left the house before he could do any harm. In episode 4, Claudia is technically killed when she is turned into a vampire, but she is undead.

A character is continually accompanied by a character who has passed, and no one else can see them. It's not a ghost, just a manifestation of the character's grief, however it does read like a haunting. The apparition character is present throughout season 2.

Within the vampiric framework Louis can be said to have an eating disorder. He refuses to consume human blood during parts of the narrative, and it is described how he suffers effects of malnourishment as a consequence. I feel that ep 3 definitely seeks out to parallel it with real life eating disorders

Louis' brother has some kind of mental illness, probably schizophrenia, but hard to say since he lived in the 1910s. In season 2 Daniel asks Louis if he's schizophrenic (because he's had very vivid hallucinations) and Louis answers no after a small pause. It is left ambiguous if he's schizophrenic but he's at least mentally unwell.

There’s no actual incest but there are references to the idea of it occasionally to reenforce themes of unsettled family dynamics. In episode 6 I believe, Claudia, an adult vampire in the body of a teenager, says to her adopted vampire dads that they’re the only people who will ever see her as an adult and therefore her only potential romantic partners. She didn’t mean this statement as a proposition but rather an expression of the morbidity of her circumstance, but this can be understandably uncomfortable and disturbing to ppl, especially those with incest triggers

There is a lot of drinking blood in this show, since it's about vampires. If you can't handle that, this is not the show for you. There is also some gore at the end of ep 1 where Lestat punches through the head of a priest. It's only visible for a couple of seconds.
