This study discussed the violence reflected in the series, which through its kinds of violence is clarified in detail. Slabert and Green conducted research on domestic violence experienced by women and explain the idea of intimate partner violence in four forms: physical abuse, psychological abuse, sexual abuse, and economic abuse. Further research in IPV strengthens the concept for further studies. Having a literature review as the research methodology applied, the data was taken from all the dialogues between the characters. Several facts were found from the series that there were three forms of violence received by the couple, namely: physical violence that was seen in the bruises after Danielle's husband strangled her, and Paula, Alex's mother, had bruises and a bleeding nose when Alex was a child; psychological abuse experienced by female characters because their partners often commit violence against them; and economic violence is carried out in the form of controlling almost all activities that lead to economic business, such as income, expenses, banking information, debt, and loans.
