This tv show contains 78 potentially triggering events.
there should not be any “no” votes- YES, rape is mentioned in multiple episodes, including at least two whole plot points around the violent rape of women.
in addition to this, a male main character is raped by a female character via drugging. i quit watching the show around season 4, but another comment on DDD leads me to believe a second male character is raped by a female character via deception in a later season too.
The protagonist believes they are having consensual sex with their partner, but it is another person disguised as their partner instead. This non-consensual encounter is then treated as cheating by the remaining characters, and is never discussed or treated as the sexual assault it actually was.
there is no joking; however, multiple male characters are sexually assaulted by female characters and the show completely glosses over it/does not acknowledge it as sexual assault.
In the beginning of season 1 episode 11, when you see a woman walking and crying. Fast forward until you see the title sequence if finger/toe mutilation is a trigger.
Season 2 ep 14 min: 14:40 You can kinda see it coming a guys is stumbling out of a bar when Monroe is on the phone with Nick. Scene looks blurry at first but it gets clear right when it happens full audio and visual. I recommend muting from 14:40-14:55. About 15 seconds. S2 episode 18 I would guess about min 4:40 I heard audio and closed my eyes. I don’t know if there is visual but it shows the castle and then adalind v* in toilet. S3 E22 SPOILER AHEAD man in ambulance has mask over his face. Blood is coughed up in the mask. Personally a severe emetophobe and wasn’t too bothered. But it was quick with SOME audio. Fast scene switch S4 episode 8 Around 48-30 min in the sick guy is in front of his house, he sees nick and hank talking to his wife. And shortly after that he turns and v*s in his yard. You can kinda see it coming. I’d mute because there is audio and visual. Sorry I don’t have the exact time!
The main characters are cops but it doesn't mean there's copaganda inherently. Season 1 shows Hank, the partner, being driven mad with guilt over evidence he "lost" on the way to the DA office that incarcerated a man.
I just started the second season and this is the worst show ive ever seen regarding this issue. police car lights, flashlights, etc all aiming right at the camera quite regularly. probably in 7/10 episodes.
Sort of--in the finale, both of the only POC main characters (Black and Asian) in the show die first to raise the stakes for the remaining white characters.
there is offscreen sex multiple times in the show, all quite mild and the scenes are cut after brief foreplay, before any actual sex starts…
except S3E4 a character randomly and suddenly has an orgasm onscreen (they are swimming in a dark lake making out, nothing is visible except their heads.) it was a very awkward moment of voyeurism especially since the cheesiness of the show makes it mostly appeal to a young audience.
