Not abandonment, but a family has to put their dog in quarantine at the pound for two months. There’s a hard scene where the owner says goodbye to him through the cage. As far as I know, we never see the dog again? But there’s no scene about him dying or running away either.

Spoilers: In season 2, Tommy is raped by Meg. In this episode, he is kinda crashing out and joins up with Meg, willing kisses as well. It’s hard to say for sure if he’s forgiving her, but he’s really going through it.

Around 55 minutes into S1E8… ( SPOILERS) A character sticks a shard of glass into her throat. Skip to next episode when she picks up the shard of glass, you won’t miss much. She just tells Kevin, “You do understand” as she dies.

They also show it in the recap for the next episode.

There are some abrupt moments of violence that are loud and shocking, mainlythe dog that's shot while the protagonist is on a jog. There are flashbacks to this moment that are also meant to make you jump.

The story is largely about a collective traumatic response to so many people vanishing. Some characters are impacted very strongly, and have PTSD relating to losing family, friends, coworkers, etc

Throughout Season 1, there’s been a couple dream sequences that aren’t obviously dream sequences. At least, not at first.

Throughout Season 2, a character frequently hallucinates, seeing and talking to someone that (most) other people cannot see. It’s not clear whether the entity is real (as in supernatural) or just imagined.
