This tv show contains 76 potentially triggering events.
No however in the first 5 minute the dog attacks McGee and is shot. He is shown throughout the episode in pain and there is the topic of putting the dog down. They also discover the corpse of another dogs. 30 minutes in the dog gets sick during its recovery from the bullet. There is blood on the blanket he’s on when they begin to operate but you don’t actually see anything. Just a dog acting sad and hurt.
No physical abuse mentioned. A main character was raised to kill; this is prior knowledge to this episode. It is mentioned in this episode along with the abusive father.
Marine uses a bomb sniffing dog to get a kid out of a mine field. Nothing happens to the dog, but the Marine gets shot and the dog lays against his body and whimpers.
No sharks. Flesh-eating sea critters are discussed. (They're shown as shrimp/vague crustaceans.) And a good amount of the episode takes place on the open ocean.
attempted rape is shown on screen, a girl continusally pushes her boyfriend away while he tries to kiss her, they're interrupted when a marine plows through the roof of the SUV they're in
Sadly a shared trait of cop shows from the 2000s and earlier is the tendency for...I'm not sure they count as jokes, but way too often I've heard cop characters imply that suspects will be sexually assaulted when they get sent to prison. Occasionally there are actual jokes about it too. NCIS doesn't seem to have as many as some other shows, thankfully.
He technically isn’t crushed to death, as he was dead before he was put in the trunk of the (about to be crushed) car. However, the car does start to get crushed and the body does get smashed a bit.
Season 2, episode 3: story involves a person who has been burned alive, though the death is not shown. Season 2, episode 5: a charred body is discovered during an investigation.
Season 1, episode 12, there is an amputated leg and discussion of dismemberment. Season 1, episode 16, there is discussion of having to amputate the arm of someone who's been shot in the shoulder joint.
as part of a plan to commit mass murder, yes, he swallows a small canister filled with sarin gas and then asphyxiates himself so they put his body in the freezer to preserve it, until they can transport it elsewhere
There is a scene where a victim is shown after being murdered and having his eyes gouged out. Later, there is a scene where his eyeballs are placed on the kitchen counter of another person's home.
A child's death is mentioned multiple times as a part of a character's plotline but the death is only shown in flashbacks with some noise associated. The show does not focus on the death and more on the related character's revenge and/or ability to cope with it.
Shot by a sniper on screen, did not effect me very heavily but the wound is shown on screen. There is another major character death in the season filmed in 2020 but I dont know the exact episode.
sadly yes, the victim was a father. he was also building a tree house for his son. special agent gibbs stops by early in the morning at the kids place to finish building it, the end scene is so sweet.
About 35 minutes in. They bring a guy down to autopsy. Ducky starts explain and touching the body. I would stop watching once ducky starts talking. The guy vomits into a trash can. No visual of actual vomit but you hear it and see his head in a trash can. Skip to 37 minutes for it to be completely over.
I have emetophobia and couldn’t watch.
The main team all regularly and repeatedly break laws to catch alleged criminals, and justify it with "their gut" is never wrong. For several seasons the team employs a character who is a trained torturer from a state which regularly uses torture itself.
Not explicitly, but a main character is well-acted as someone deeply traumatized in this episode and storyline. If seeing someone dissociate and/or emotionally shut down triggers you, this arc may not be for you.
there are unintentional (or unmentioned) implications that a suspect has dissociative identities. so far, the time(s) this has happened, this was not true, nor was it ever explicitly implied to be so.
No. There are intermittent flashback segments and it is strongly implied that we either do not have the full story, or that we possibly have conflicting stories.
No, but someone says "I'd rather die," as well as "I did not intend to make it out alive." The word suicide is mentioned in the context of "suicide mission."
The episode is called Bikini wax, a woman is found dead with her head in the toilet, and it is later found out that she had an eating disorder. It did not cause her death though.
basically yes, two guys play an MMORPG and they both take it to the next level, they fight with ceremonial military swords. one of the two encourages the other guy to jump ship with weights chained to his waist to prove his immortality, (walk across the ocean floor to shore.)
Referenced a few times in episode but only discussed heavily in the first few minutes. (SPOILERS) A man is being spied on through a listening device implanted in his tooth, minor reoccurring character and unrealistic.
Season 1, episode 21, one of the agents refers to a trans woman by a slur at the very end of the episode in a conversation with another agent. It has no relevance to episode and can be avoided by skipping the scene after the agents return to headquarters.
Likely, but as I am not Jewish nor informed enough to give an accurate disclaimer, I will mark yes only for the following reason: there is a scene in this episode where a Jewish character possibly jokingly accuses another character of making an antisemitic quip.
The early seasons have a lot of underlying transphobia.
Season 1, episode 21 I think has a trans woman character who is repeatedly misgendered after it is revealed, and transphobic jokes & comments are made about her.
Season 1 episode 17 has a passing mention of a man carrying out a revenge prank on a friend for setting him up on a date with a “transvestite” as a joke.
Season 1, episode 20: the plot relies heavily on the murderous transwoman trope. Includes misgendering, mocking, exaggerated disgust response, and the execution of a trans character, among other things.
sort of ig you could say, a marine captain or whatever very much disapproves of deploying a female special agent onto a submarine unless another male special agent replaces her. the main special agent tells her to step out and ridicules the man and tells him he does have other agents and that the female agent used to be secret service on protect detail for the president. when he exits the building, the female agent goes on a rant about the captain's misogyny.
Father stopped them from dating because they did not know they were half-siblings. It is implied there might have been feelings, but explicitly stated that nothing was acted upon, and that they instead became good friends.
quite happy, actually. a navy commander is cleared of drug charges and the urban lights project he founded is reinstated and a news reporter finally does her job right
