There are theories that Athena was a planned target as well but there is no evidence for this beyond speculation

- From the season 4 premiere until season 4 episode 4, it is revealed that Evan Buckley experienced emotional negligence from Maddie & his parents. In the 4th episode, he yells at them for not loving him enough. It is then revealed he had a brother called Daniel Buckley & was conceived for his bone marrow. It ended up not saving him. Buck did not know of this until then;
- Maddie Buckley is also a victim of this as she had to pretend for 29 years (Buck was 29 at the time this information was shared with him) that she didn't have a brother prior to Buck. This resulted in some of her mental health problems surfacing as young as age 9 (roughly the time Daniel Buckley died) as well as her running away from problems most of her life until late season 5;
- In season 6 episode 3 it is revealed Reggie Franklin Junior killed Tanya Kingston & went on to rape & kill 6 more girls between the years 1977 & 2022 (the years of the other girls were not defined properly so I cannot provide much more). He kept his victims' shoes as mementos

In season 1, a main character goes to see a therapist while recovering from sex addiction and a recent trauma of seeing someone fall to their death. He has sex with his therapist during the session, which is legally sexual assault due to the power dynamic and the character not being in the right headspace to consent. The show does not portray this as SA and plays it for laughs a couple times in the show.

Buck's sleeping with his therapist is played for laughs, despite the fact he was in the wrong headspace to sleep with her & she comitted a violation of her work by sleeping with a client
She also drops him, doesn't refer to a new therapist & is said to have been fired following multiple incidents of a similar sort to Buck's

One could count Buck sleeping with his therapist as rape, given he was in the wrong headspace & she violated a lot of work laws & client laws (droppin him immediately & not referring him to a different therapist). Which results in her getting fired later

in season 2 episode 5 around the 14 minute mark a racist man vomits on his own waste. then in episode 6 season 2 there was a bug eating contest and a man starts chocking on a clump of crickets. the firefighters pull it out but then a little girl starts to cough up bugs. season 2 episode 12 about 20:10 minutes in a man vomits all over Chimney. visual seen and audio heard. again in episode 12 season 2 at the very end (about 43 minutes) a man vomits into a bag. season 3 episode 1 about 13 minutes in starts coughing up blood, he coughs up quite a bit and it never speed out but he does cough a lot. it bothered me a bit. season 3 episode 3 a man suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning vomits on the ground. no visual, only audio. also in episode 3 of season 3 a little boy starts to cough a lot, then he starts to choke. he coughs up a lot of water and seaweed. then they take him away. (not technically vomit, but it did bother me.) season 3 episode 12 the first case they are on the guy seems like he might puke but he doesn’t, nothing even close i promise. just wanted to let people know.

There is however a storyline with Josh in season 3 where he gets ready to go on a date with a guy he met online. Only for when they go somewhere a bit more secluded to get jumped, assaulted & robbed off his items.
This is later used in the heist storyline, but this does bring parallels to real life incidents were gay men go on a date with someone they meet online only to be beaten up for the fact that they are gay

A child with cerebral palsy deals with an absent mother and a teacher (that later turns into his dad's girlfriend) that doesn't try to adapt to his limitations ("There's a lot to be said for getting back on the horse, but there's also some value in learning that you don't like horses.") and calls him "sensitive."

In an episode in season 2 (I don't remember which one), a patient refuses treatment of:
- Hen - 118's paramedic - because she's a black lesbian woman;
- Chimney - 118's paramedic - because he is an Asian man;
- Eddie - 118's firefighter - almost treats the patient, until he reveals his last name to be "Diaz" which is Hispanic/Latino. The patient also rejects being treated by him because of this.
Eventually Buck - 118's firefighter - treats the man as he's white, male, his sexuality is assumed to be straight (5 years later this is proven to be incorrect) & says his last name's "Buckley". The man deems him "a true American" (this bit is ironic in real life given Buck's actor Oliver Stark being the only main cast member not from the United-States, he is from the United Kingdom) & allows him to treat him.
Everyone of the 118 - including Bobby & Buck - are irritated about this incident.
- There's also an episode in season 3 that has racial profiling towards Michael, May & Harry Grant where a cop almost kills Harry when he sees him move to a sitting position. May makes her paper about Athena being an enemy as she is a cop. Michael struggles with accepting the fact he has to give Harry the talk about what he as a black boy should do if he's stopped by the police. Athena deals with the fallout her family has & how thanks to her a lot has changed already but that there is still work to be done;
- In season 6 episode 8, one of Darius' - May's boyfriend - roommates is a raging misogynist

Sexual content doesn't occur often, it is never explicit when it gets shown. If there is nudity in such a scene, it only shows their shoulders or their lower backs at best.

One major plot point through multiple episodes of season 3 is one character having a brain tumor. There are also other mentions of characters with cancer, though these are not main characters and most of them are dead by the time they are mentioned.

Might have other instances of car crashes too:
- Shannon - Christopher's mother, Eddie's ex-wife - gets hit by a car while crossing the road in Season 2, she dies in Eddie's arms;
- A car crashes into the back of the 118's firetruck after it's revealed he couldn't slow down no matter how he tried in Season 3. The character gets out of the car with minor injuries;
- A woman & her 2 sons almost plummet from a ravine ledge in Season 3. The 118 saves manages to save all 3 occupants of the car;
- In the Season 3 Halloween Episode a woman collides with another person. Due to the bump on her head & disillusionment coming from the head injury, she doesn't notice & isn't stopped until the very end of the episode by Buck who is lucky enough to spot her at a gas station;
- Hen commits accidental vehicular manslaughter in Season 3.

Might have forgotten a few:
- Shannon - Chris' mom, Eddie's ex-wife - dies in Season 2 after being hit by a car;
- In the Season 3 Halloween episode a woman hits a man with her car & sustains a head-injury that leaves her severely disillusioned with her surroundings that she doesn't register the man is stuck in her windshield. This goes on for the entire episode until Buck spots her at the gas station at the very end.

It used to be somewhat tame in seasons 1 & 2 but blood/gore becomes a lot more commonplace from season 3 onwards.
If it triggers you, I'd suggest to watch the season very carefully because it is in about every episode.

- Athena Grant gets shot in the middle of the altercation with the serial rapist she was investigating & tracking down in the penultimate episode of season 3. She survives.
Her assaulter reveals in season 5 Athena shot him in his groin, which resulted in severly damaged genitals to the point it wasn't salvagable;
- Edmundo "Eddie" Diaz gets sniped whilst wrapping up paramedic care for his patient. He was targeted solely because he was working for the LAFD. The shooter was planning to shoot Buck immediately after - who was out of uniform - but someone tackled him in time & pushed him under the firetruck
