tim is frequently gaslighted by hawk in the entire series and hawk is a master gaslighter and compulsive liar
edit: i have seen the comment below, but hawk is still an asshole and gaslights a lot of people to get his way through life. it’s what he has to do, and it’s not pretty.

UPDATE: completely safe!! :)
so far no but i’ll update. as of ep 7, the show is completely safe. there is a scene where hawk excuses himself to the bathroom and looks like he’s going to be sick but just paces around nervously. there’s another moment in episode 7 when tim knocks on the bathroom door and hears hawk coughing, to which a man offscreen says the alcohol has been getting to him because he’s old. hawk just tells him to go away and nothing happened.

A lot of the show is gay men trying to hide that they're gay and then usually getting found out.

There is a man in a dress, he looks great and him being in a dress helps one of the main characters feel more comfortable with his own queerness.

A LOT of it. Impossible to avoid and important to the plot. Sex scenes, naked people, talk of sex. Also one of the main characters having HIV is a major plot point which is not really sexual in itself but obviously connected to sex.
