A documentary-style look into the daily (or rather, nightly) lives of three vampires in Staten Island who have “lived” together for hundreds and hundreds of years.
This tv show contains 90 potentially triggering events.
No domestic violence. Married vampire couple chase each other around with swords and one shouts "I'm going to kill you!" but there's no harm to one another and it's not a serious matter.
All fighting is against humans or monsters. A dog is shown to be capable of fighting and defending himself, but no actual fighting occurs and no harm comes to the dog.
Yes. In the episode "Siren" the Guide gets flity with Guillermo after seeing a photo of him as a child/teen and then asks to be alone in his room, implying she's going to masterbate over to the picture. Guillermo is also extremely uncomfortable with the whole thing.
No shaving or cutting. There is a historic painting of a man getting decapitated that appears briefly on screen but it's not graphic and it's only on screen for a second.
No one gets decapitated on screen but there is a brief mention of it happening in the past paired with a historic painting of someone getting decapitated. It's very brief and not super graphic.
The Duke is buried alive, as is Collin Robinson, but both times are played for laughs and they're fine. It's not played as claustrophobic or distressing.
When the vampires hiss at each other in this episodes, their faces warp a bit and their fangs grow (not graphic). There is a person who has visibly been dead for a while who walks around and speaks-- he doesn't fully look human.
A person is chained in a room in S1E1, very briefly shown. A few characters are restrained with the threat of painfully extracting their semen with some sort of device in S2E9. It doesn't actually happen though. An energy vampire kinda tortures people throughout the series by intentionally boring them with inane nonsense, many times until they pass out. The comments about the torture chamber and man with a spear are from the movie, not the TV series.
One of the characters turned a toddler into a vampire (mentioned, not shown) and later you see the toddler as a vampire. Also a vampire character accidentally scares his living descendant to death, although she is 94 at the time.
In Season 1 there are one-off gags about victims of the vampires alive in the basement and a room briefly shown with people trapped inside for the vampires to feed on. Neither of these things are mentioned or seen again after the bit. There is implied kidnapping of victims throughout, but it’s never elaborated on.
Various humans are briefly hypnotized by vampires, and told to do things like leave, ignore what they've seen, see things that aren't real, and forget things they've heard.
I've got severe emetophobia, and I can watch every vomit scene without batting an eye. Anytime you see a vampire eat any food, get ready for old school exaggerated, comedic projectile vomit ala Saturday Night Live (ish) with the next 5 to 20 seconds. Characters will turn completely to one side, raise a hand up to hide their mouth, and a high pressure spray of murky water will be aimed at a trash can while the character says "AAHHHHHHH". All but the scene with the vampire being tossed around from his high pressure vomit are over in about 5-10 seconds, and that scene is more ridiculous in my opinion than gross, and I'm usually one to leave a theater briefly when I sense a vomit scene coming.
In episode 8 of season 3 Colin farts all over Nandor’s room after moving in since Nandor is gone at a cult. In episode 9 Colin farts a lot for a few minutes.
You can hear the vampires biting people's necks and you can hear the blood splatters from that happening. There is also a brief scene where a historic drawing of people getting impaled is shown on screen and it's accompanied by a sound effect of someone getting impaled and a person making a pained sound.
In the episode "Ancestry", a character is possessed by a past life and assumed to be mentally ill, and acts violent while escaping the hospital he's in.
A character is depicted having an anxiety attack multiple times and it's intensely realistic. Apparently no one here knows what an anxiety attack looks like.
Season 4's episode "Private School" has Nandor repeatedly alter his face because he is unhappy with it. The transformations are played for laughs and it is eventually completely undone and not mentioned again.
If you count being in coffins but the characters don’t mind it.(SPOILERS for season 3 finale) Guillermo is trapped in a coffin in a box and as a human this is very distressing for him and will not be resolved until season 4 comes out I guess.
a vampire character joins a cult and trys to eat human food rather than blood (despite human food causing vampires to be sick) which is arguably an eating disorder
No, but a character threatens suicide when her boyfriend breaks up with her. In context, it is exceedingly clear that she is not serious, but that may still be triggering.
The film is a a mockumentary and there is a fair amount of shaking. At one point there is a chase scene through the woods and the camera bounces around violently before falling to the ground.
SERIOUS SPOILERS: At the end of season 3, a character is reborn as an infant. As they are shown throughout promotional images and trailers for season 4, it is a safe bet that they will be present as a baby during the new season as well.
No! In fact, in s4e4, Nandor is very excited to befriend a Jewish man and even goes so far as to circumcise himself to create common ground between them (this backfires immediately)
Three of the main vampires are LGBT+ (Like pretty much everyone in the show) and are technically dead but they are not killed in the show. There are queer characters who kind of fake their death or it turns out they aren’t really dead. (SPOILERS) In season 3 episode 9 Colin Robinson dies.
Occasionally directed at Guillermo. Often walks the line of it not being specifically a "fat joke" as opposed to Guillermo dealing with a wash of stereotypical bullying in general by people around him. (Particularly in later seasons, this is heavily balanced by him generally kicking ass and being the most competent character on the show. Lampshaded in at least once scene directly where Nadja asks if he has a "little chubby girlfriend" and Guillermo asks why she would have to necessarily also be chubby.)
Not really aphobia, but in S3E4 a character is questioned about their relationship status and the people asking them are very pushy and they are very clearly uncomfortable. In this passage characters stress the importance of love and sexual relationships
If you count romances between 700 year old vampires and fully adult humans, then sure there's a large age gap. But no, not in the way that this category intends to be interpreted.
No overt incest but a characters does have a topiary with bushes shaped like his mother and sister's vaginas. It is not stated how or why he knows what their vaginas look like.
Lazlo, one of the main characters, jokes and gloats about sex in almost every episode. He has a topiary garden with hedges designed to look like vaginas. In s01e09, a human and a vampire get it on and two bats also do. In s03e03, a human and a vampire have sex.
At the end of the episode “The Orgy”, a vampire wearing BDSM gear (most notably a bondage mask) is present and has sex. There are no depictions of BDSM behaviors, just the attire.
There is a historic drawing of people shooting a gun at a grave (presumably containing a vampire) with gunfire audio being played. No gun violence in the episode, though.
