The endings of both season 1 and season 2 are bittersweet. They both involve mourning the loss of a major character, though some things turn out okay, so they aren't entirely sad endings.

Lamb refers to a cigarette as a f*g, but that's just what British people call cigarettes, so it isn't being used in a derogatory way.

Catherine is a recovering alcoholic, and attends AA meetings. Lamb drinks frequently, and also offers alcohol to Catherine.
Not necessarily alcohol abuse, but characters do drink to unwind, such as in season 1 when Min and Louisa both go to the bar alone after work.

Yes, a few times throughout the series.
In season 1, Hassan is tied up (sometimes with tape over his mouth) for the majority of the time he's onscreen.
In season 2, River gets tied up with rope at the flying club, to prevent him from stopping a terrorist attack.

Tape is frequently put over Hassan's mouth in season 1.
In season 2, Louisa is grabbed with a hand over her mouth. This briefly makes the viewer think she's being attacked, but it turns out to be Marcus stopping her from doing something dangerous.

Beheading, season 1 episode 3. There's a cutaway right before the decapitation actually happens, and then you see the separated head and body.

There's blood when characters die or get injured, but it isn't super excessive.
[Spoilers]
The scene of Min's murder could be considered pretty gory, though it's mostly just blood.

No, but in season 2, it seems like a plane is going to be flown into a building. This is referred to by characters as a "Code September", and the building is evacuated. No terrorist attack actually occurs.

E1:S1 10.30 Pan to Gary Oldman sleeping. He lets out a long messy sounding fart, waking himself in the process. 5 seconds later he lets out another, shorter and sounds more messy. My emetophobic wife would be triggered.

Throughout season 1, there are flashbacks to Catherine finding the body of her boss, who committed suicide with a gun.
[Spoilers]
It's later revealed that he was killed by someone else, and it was only framed as a suicide.

Dementia is a theme throughout season 4, specifically with David, River’s grandfather. In S4 E6 (the finale), River has to put his grandfather in a memory care facility. While it’s very well written, this could be triggering for those who have been through something like this.
