There are often murders of women, some more violent than others, but equally as many violent murders of men in the series. It does not feel like the violence is focused on women

In 'Death of a Hollow Man' a man slaps his former partner with force on stage. In the same episode, a theatre director is verbally abusive to the timid stage manager, frequently calling her brainless etc.__________________In 'Faithful Unto Death' it's repeatedly mentioned that one character is abusive to his wife 'he knocks her about, I've seen the bruises'- however [****SPOILER*** it's revealed that the wife was making up the abuse and faking bruises with makeup.]. __________ Also in this episode, not DV but may be very triggering: a woman is kidnapped and we are shown photos of her with a breaten and bloody face_____________Episode 'Death in Disguise' mentions of physical DV but none is shown on screen

A horse becomes unwell and it's suspected their been drugged, however they make a full recovery (SPOILERS

He also is a photographer and has a room full of erotic photos of this person. There's also a scene where's at a dance taking photos of just the girls/women (unsure if under/over aged), including encouraging them to show their stockings

Although there are usually multiple murders in an episode, and we often see the dead body, there is not excessive gore and the injuries are usually things like stab wounds. If someone has been killed in a more gorey way (e.g. decapitation) we are usually not shown the injuries, and see the police's reaction to them seeing the body instead.

(Strangler's Wood) We see someone about to strangle a woman with a tie, we see them reaching over to do it and then it cuts. We also see the body of a woman who has been strangled with a tie. ___________ This is the most we see of any strangulation (in other words we don't see it happening or see anyone struggling to breathe), although we hear it talked about a lot and it is the main theme of the episode.

The first scene is extremely graphic and was very triggering to me. A man appears to kill himself by setting up a shotgun and indirectly pulling the trigger. The blast blowing open his chest is shown and it’s pretty sudden. I’d highly recommend skipping this scene because it was very disturbing and upsetting to me.

A man is a severe hypochondriac and most people do not treat him with much empathy. His doctor repeatedly expresses frustration about the man’s antics. No one has malicious intentions though.

Sgt Troy often uses offensive terms, particularly when talking about LGBT people. DCI Barnaby usually points it out to him quickly and tells him off.
Additionally, some outdated vocabulary is used in the early series.

Sometimes it’s not satisfactory ending or it’s bitter sweet ending.

'Bad Tidings': no, although a car speeds past another car, causing it to serve off the road. There is no crash and noone is hurt but Joyce is a bit shaken

A man is graphically shot in the chest with a shotgun and there is a decent amount of blood. The body is repeatedly shown with excessive blood spatter. His housekeeper finds his body and goes around the town telling everyone about how much blood there was, etc.

S5 ep3 'Ring out your Dead': the other comment is describing the wrong episode. However, in S5 ep3 (the one about bell ringers) there is a LOT of gun violence. Two people are shot and die, another is shot and wounded, we see a close up of a gun while it fires at a target, and two people are threatened at gun point

S8 EP6 "Hidden Depths": a man's head is put inside a sealed tv and liquid poured in to drown him to torture and kill him. We don't see the actual drowning, but see liquid being poured in up to his lips and he sputters while the murderer torments him. And after we see an image of his face when he's dead with the liquid up to his head.
