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.

S1 - lots of police show up in a hotel to investigate an accidental murder. You briefly see them engaging very pleasantly with the white man who did the murder. I think the class/race dynamics behind this good treatment are implied but others might not.

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.

However, these symptoms are rarely depicted onscreen, with the exception of prescription benzodiazepines.
