One character is implied to have killed his wife (there’s audio of her yelling for help because her husband’s trying to kill her, and he says that it was the last time he ever saw her alive).

No actual gaslighting, but multiple episodes feature massive lies that spiral out of control. For example, in Season 1 episode 5, a character is led to believe that their coworker has died, and doesn’t find out the truth until the end of the episode.

S2:E6, a boss tries to roofie his employee (although he thinks it's a "love potion," not roofies) but is unsuccessful. The boss accidentally takes the roofies himself and assaults two other employees. The episode ends without knowing the extent or outcome. It's revealed in S3:E3 that it progressed as far as him forcibly kissing one of his employees.

To elaborate: A transgender woman claims that she “used to be a man”, which was outdated language even at the time. She’s a kind person and she’s seen as feminine and attractive to others, but she has great physical strength and stereotypically masculine interests. The show’s portrayal of a trans woman would be awkward at worst if it weren’t for Douglas’s reaction to her: he’s disgusted by the fact that she “used to be a man”. For what it’s worth, he regrets breaking up with her later.
