In season 2 episode 4, a dog jumps out of the moving car’s window. It shows the dog after the incident limping. They explain that he needs surgery and he is later seen wearing an eyepatch. There’s not very much shown but can still be upsetting.

SEASON 2: ALL EPS SAFE!!
SEASON 1: ep 1-5 safe! Episode 6 NOT SAFE!!!! When Brian starts singing and jimmy is on the piano, look away. Jimmy throws up on the piano, full audio and visual, 3 times. (I did not watch, but the audio was bad so I recommend plugging your ears too) Once the scene changes to Brian outside, you’re good. Ep 7 safe! v* word said though. Ep 8 safe! P* word said twice. Ep 9-10 safe!

shakey cam isn’t used much here! one instance of it is toward the very end of s2 e11
it may be used sometimes; that said, it’s not too significant, but I understand why that might be a concern :)

A few sex workers throughout the series. The way two characters speak about a doctor is uncomfortable in season 2 episode 8.
