The dog is hit by a car right at the beginning of the first episode. You hear a squeal and you see him lying in the road but you don’t actually see the car hit the dog. The dog then becomes a main character in the series and is loved. He gets some lovely little wheels to help him walk around
A man has something inserted into his urethra by his doctor, and women who’ve just given birth are given stitches. Not really mutilation but made me cringe to watch.
One character is tempted to cheat on her husband because she’s got a crush a young woman and she mentions that she dated women in the past. It doesn’t go anywhere but does play into that stereotype a bit
Childbirth itself isn’t shown but a character is a medical student and there are several scenes where she’s stitching up women who’ve torn during childbirth (nothing graphic is shown)
Repeated use of the word cr*pple (idk maybe it’s not considered a slur in Australia but did catch me off guard watching as a Brit). Also there’s a joke where an old woman is dying and her last words are “don’t let the Japs in”
