The entire family is stalked by an ex-con both before and after their prison sentence, though this is not discussed until the last few episodes of the series. Hazel and Cha-Cha also pursue Five and his family members relentlessly, often leaving threats.

Idk if this is intended to be a depiction of abuse by form of neglect, but it upset me: many cats live in one house, it's unclear if they're being fed, and they're meowing needily. Many are also skinny, which is what made me think of it.

S2E5, it’s somewhat ambiguous what happens to the cat. A character (who is definitely capable of cat murder) is shown wearing extremely long and sharp heeled pumps. She looks down at a cat rubbing her legs, then makes a quick and jerky movement. We hear the cat yowl offscreen. Afterward, another character briefly looks down and frowns, expression is somewhat disgusted. I *believe* kitty stomping was visually implied but the yowl sounds more like annoyance/surprise than actual pain. And there’s no other murder-y sounds (that I could hear). Regardless, I think about half the people watching will interpret the scene as a cat being injured or killed.

No snakes. However, one caracter (Ben) has tentacles that come out of his body when he fights, and they can look very snake-like sometimes in the way they move.
[SEASON 3] When he is fighting with Jayme in a dojo, he "captures" her with his tentacles, and it kind of looks like she has a big snake around her. Be prepared to look away if that disturbs you!

S1: Klaus is kidnapped and there are multiple scenes of him tied up, including one in the trunk of a car and another where he’s locked in a closet with duct tape over his mouth, he also asks Diego to tie him to a chair so he can’t break his sobriety but later changes his mind and Diego forces him anyway. Luther knocks Viktor out by hugging him until he can’t breathe and during this scene he attempts to fight back.
S2: An autistic child has a meltdown and starts breaking things and his mother holds him tight until he stops (he flails and there is biting) and Diego is put in a strait jacket.

In addition to the above comment, in E8 a character’s throat is slashed pretty graphically and they proceed to struggle to breathe.
EDIT: In season 2 there are MANY instances of chokeholds, throats being stepped on, and at one point suffocation by mind control. Also, a character drowns and is revived via mouth to mouth. If you are sensitive to choking, watch season 2 with a friend who can warn you when to look away.

Episode 2, starting at 29:25. A man is tortured through electrocution in multiple places. It’s pretty graphic. If you want to skip this scene, skip ahead to 30:23. Later on the man’s body is discovered by Eudora Patch (the detective) and it’s a very graphic image (they leave him how they tortured him). This is at 52:20, and ends at 52:42

Season 2, episode 7, Klaus vomits, graphic & sound. Starts at 40:00, ends 40:17. Vomit can be seen on the ground during scene 42:30-43:22.
Season 2, episode 8, continue of the same scene, vomit can be seen on the ground during 3:50-4:50, including someone with vomit all over it.
I included the specific time-frames so you can skip around these if you're easily triggered.

Viktor is trans and only people who don't know yet deadname, and it's never disrespectful. Once they know, they switch right away, there is never malicious deadnaming.

Main cast member Klaus is a drug addict, and especially in early scenes and episodes can be seen shooting up. There are also two instances of needles used in a medical setting, once in episode 4 when Luthor is explaining his new body, and again in episode 9 when Allison is being operated on.

A kid (Harlan) is seemingly autistic, although it is never confirmed. Apart from the fact that he gets superpowers, I’d say that he’s pretty realistic. As an autistic person myself I didn’t at all mind how he was portrayed.

A character has repressed memories in season 1 which cause panic attacks when they begin to resurface. There is also a scene in episode 4 where a character is locked in a closet and appears to be experiencing PTSD flashbacks; another character acknowledges them by saying “you went there again, didn’t you?”

EDIT-
Klaus K* himself multiple times- during different times of his life. He is technically immortal tho... still could be triggering. one is when he is a teen and jumps off a building, (I think he was drunk in the flashback). Then at the end of season 3, right before the Kugelblitz takes the rest of hotel obsidian he jumps onto a wall decor to impale himself with it

S3 An autistic character frequently gets sensory overload and the sounds are amplified/distorted during these scenes to convey this. In S3E4 especially there’s a lot of high pitched high frequency feedback sounds. In S3E1 it’s also a baby crying.

Main character Klaus is often shown having flashbacks or nightmares because of trauma he's suffered due to his powers and his father. These usually send him into having some sort of anxiety or panic attack until he uses drugs to stop them.

Klaus fought in Vietnam and is clearly traumatized by this. In season 2 a paint mixer makes loud banging noises and he has a flashback.
All of the main characters suffered traumatic childhoods and it's safe to assume that at least some of them have PTSD because of this.

Heavy use of strobe effect! S1E1: Fluorescent lights start flashing during a fight scene (51:00-53:00). S1E2: Harsh flashing fluorescent lights and police sirens (10:30-14:30).

S1E9: Fluorescent lights flash with varying speed and intensity (30:55-33:58, 37:16-37:26, 37:58-38:06, 40:20-43:25). S1E10: White strobe with increasing intensity (3:18-3:38). Two major fight scenes (26:35-27:52, 35:50-37:57). Harsh blue strobe (44:00-45:25). S2E8: One quick flash followed by white strobe (37:20-38:00).

The Commission has been criticized as antisemitic due to The Handler speaking Yiddish. She does so twice in season 1. The Commission also generally has themes of “shadow organization controlling the world” which can evoke antisemitic conspiracy theories. This is somewhat controversial but reading it as antisemitic is valid.
Aside from that, in season 2 a main character makes a brief comment about “lizard people”.

No characters within the show are misgendered, but as previously stated, trans actor Elliot Page plays a female character. She/her pronouns are only used on the character Vanya and not Elliot, however there is content related to the show that uses his deadname and incorrect pronouns that were made prior to his coming out. Netflix has since changed the credits to his correct name, but it is something to keep in mind when watching older content about the series.

Two characters who were raised together as siblings kiss in a version of time, but due to time travel stuff time gets reversed and it never really happens.
The characters shared no blood connection and were raised in a way that could make the relationship seem more cute cliche than creepy, had it not referred to them all as siblings constantly every episode. There is no possible way to call it anything but incest, which is really my only complaint about the whole series.
