Season 1 - the hotel manager gaslights a guest, but he's a very difficult and unreasonable guest so this might not be triggering
Season 2 - a man gaslights his partner about cheating (though she says to another character she kinda knows and isn't a victim), he also intensely gaslights his "friend" about hitting on his wife

It kinda depends on your perspective... the manager coerces an employee to have sex with him by bribing him with drugs and the ability to choose his shifts in the future. They then have sex with some of it shown on screen, while they're both on drugs. The employee did consent and seems enthusiastic, but he was also bribed/coerced, so I'm not sure.

Depends on what you consider sexualization is. A character who is 16, is made fun of by his sister for jerking off and there is a scene of him jerking off on the beach and watching porn.

At breakfast one of the family’s are talking about trans-women in Thailand. The oldest son goes on to describe sleeping with women in Thailand as ‘being like a box of chocolates, you never know if ones are gonna have nuts.’
Not necessarily predatory but their is a resounding disgust pointed towards trans women for their ability to ‘trick’ men into sleeping with them.

A teenage boy character is mocked for “stimming” in the first episode. Whether the character is actually autistic (they use “Aspergers”) is briefly “debated” by his mom and sister in a later episode… I’ll say that he could certainly be read as autistic. His sister is verbally abusive to him (beyond typical sibling rivalry) and his mom infantilizes him.

Not that explicit, but u do see male genitals in the first episode and it’s right at a scene change so very unexpected and hard to avoid

A major character in season 1 mentions many times her diagnoses, including Morgellon’s, panic attacks, and Highly Sensitive Person.
However, these symptoms are rarely depicted onscreen, with the exception of prescription benzodiazepines.
