The series is more gory than other similar shows. The post mortems are frequently shown fully on screen with more blood/gore than is usually present in similar shows. Several episodes also show bloody/gory crime scenes. There is no excessive violence onscreen but the aftermath of accidents and murders are frequently shown as well as post mortems which are almost always very bloody and gory.

SPOILERS FOR 2x05
A main character dies after falling off a boat and drowning. It is mentioned that they had epilepsy and suggested that they may have had a seizure which caused them to fall off the boat. This is later revealed not to be the case and an interaction between their epilepsy medication and another medication is believed to have caused a dizzy spell which led to them falling off the boat and drowning.

Several episodes feature or take place in hospitals. The series focuses on a medical examiner and most episodes feature a post mortem. While this doesn’t take place in a hospital the location is very clinical, characters are shown wearing scrubs and surgical equipment and using surgical equipment including scalpels. Other episodes also feature actual hospitals when victims are taken into hospital.
2x01 particularly features several scenes in a hospital after a character is shot, 2x06 features several hospital schenes as characters investigate a crime in a small town and use the hospital for post mortems.

This episode is about a woman believed to have cancer who sells a natural alternative to chemotherapy. It is revealed later in the episode that she never had cancer but she genuinely believed this to be the case (she was tricked by her manager) and the murderer is a woman with cancer who stopped chemotherapy to use the supplements and then found out they were fake

In 3x09 a woman and the man she was having an affair with are murdered. The main suspect is the woman’s boyfriend who is autistic. It is never explicitly stated whether or not he is autistic but he shows autistic traits and the characters suspect him to be autistic with one saying he wonders if the man "has some kind of autism" to which another character replies "you think he’s on the spectrum?". The character is described as creepy/weird because of his autistic traits and is considered a main suspect because of this also.
When he arrives at the scene of the murder he is taken inside and shown the body of his girlfriend, he is unable to speak for a while and then only comments that "his ship is broken" (he has a special interest in ships and made models, one of which was broken when his girlfriend was murdered). One of the officers suspects him, commenting that he hasn’t said anything and wouldn’t look him in the eye and that these were "signs of a guilty man". He continues to be unable to speak throughout the episode and only speaks to main character Harrow when Harrow starts talking to him about ships, he is able to respond to a comment Harrow makes. When he is being investigated one of the police officers say that he was put on to a night shift by his boss because his colleagues found him "creepy" because he was quiet. The character is also not played by an autistic person.
The portrayal of this character is based clearly on stereotypes and it is clear that this episode was not written with the input of an autistic person. Characters use language that is typically considered offensive or inappropriate by autistic people (no slurs are used but language such as "having some kind of autism" is inaccurate and not the language preferred by most autistic people). The character is portrayed as creepy because of autistic traits and is even considered to be guilty of the crime because of his autistic traits, this goes as far as a main police officer being unwilling to pursue any other leads because he believes the man to be guilty because he "hasn’t said he isn’t" when he is clearly unable to speak because of the situation. This portrayal of autism is inaccurate and offensive and, in my opinion, upsetting to watch.
This episode could be potentially very upsetting for autistic people as autistic traits are demonised and used to suggest a man is guilty of a crime, especially when you consider the history of autistic people being wrongly convicted of crimes because of situations very similar to what is shown in this episode.

A woman and the man she was having an affair with are found dead and the main suspect is the woman’s autistic boyfriend. He is initially considered a suspect because of his autistic traits (he does not speak to the police officers, does not make eye contact and, after seeing the body of his girlfriend, only comments that his model ship, his special interest, has been broken which are "signs of a guilty man" according to the main police officer). He is unable to speak or make eye contact throughout the episode which makes the main police officer certain he is guilty, so much so that he will not pursue other leads. Other characters also use language that may be considered outdated and offensive by some autistic viewers such as a character wondering if he "has some kind of autism". It is not explicitly stated in the episode that he is autistic but his autistic traits and the speculation of other characters make it clear that he is autistic.
Autistic people often struggle to communicate verbally when overwhelmed or in a very stressful situation and struggling with eye contact is a well known autistic trait. It was upsetting to see a character be considered a murderer just because he showed these traits.

Simon, the only queer character, one of only two poc characters, on the main cast, is killed. He is murdered by a serial killer who is stalking the protagonist, Dr. Harrow, in order to destroy everything Harrow holds dear to make him suffer. Simon, as Harrow's friend and medical assistant, is one of these things / people apparently. Also Simon got too close to the truth and had to be 'dealt with.' But honestly, Simon died for the sake of the protagonist's man-pain. Boo.
