S8 EP.4 "Bantling Boy": there's a scene where a horse is extremely distressed and neighing, stomping as he's watching a human he knows being murdered. The horse becomes very sad and ill and won't eat his food (he makes a full recovery and is happy near the end though)

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

Episode 'Written in Blood': a drama teacher frequently eyes up his 15 year old student, and later has sex with her - unfortunately the show frames it as the girl 'seducing' him to blackmail him and paints him as the victim (despite her being underage) - I would seriously avoid this episode if it's a trigger. _____________'Death of a Hollow Man there is no sexual assault, however there's a scene where they're acting on stage that feels sexual, where a man is chasing a woman and says 'I'm going to tear my mouse'_________The rest of the episodes in Season One do not have any sexual assault.

S10 ep 1 "Dance with the Dead": no, but scenes that may be triggering. A creepily shot scene shows an old man looking at a computer screen, it then shows he is looking at erotic photos of a young woman (late teens/early 20s). 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

(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.

S8 So6 "Hidden Depths": two murders in this episode involve a level of torture. A man is tied to the ground and glass bottles are thrown at him. Another man has his head put in a sealed tv, where he has to answer questions on a 'game for your life' and wine is poured in if he doesn't answer correctly, drowning him.

Sometimes she speaks in a deeper, more demonic voice and appears possessed. There is also scary screaming heard around the room whilst this happens. The episode ends in a spooky way.

The series is about a police detective (Barnaby) solving murders and he is shown in a positive light. His sidekick sometimes says homophobic things, but Barnaby corrects him. In quite a lot of episodes, they enter and search people's houses knowing they haven't got a warrant. ________S8 ep2 "Dead in the Water" in particular, has lots of discussions around police ethics and Barnaby excusing things 'for the good of the investigation'

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.

Ep. 'Death of a Stranger': Two instances: 1. A man says he's going to kill himself and we see him holding the gun to his head. The camera pans away and we hear a shot, but it is revealed he did not kill himself._______2. A body is found hanging, from suicide. I don't think we actually see the body but we hear it swinging

This happens a lot in Midsomer Murders, and is in most episodes (e.g. a killer watching a victim, or a nosey neighbour watching next door). Some examples include: S8 ep2 "Dead in the Water" characters watched by police via a telescope, and take pictures of these suspects

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.

Happens in multiple episodes, as it's a recurring joke that a main character's driving is bad

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.

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

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.
