Darcy's mom is lesbophobic and kicked her out at the end of episode 7. There's one scene with her in this episode, when Tara goes to Darcy's house. Her mum answers the door and says something lesbophobic about Darcy. Later on, Darcy rejoins her friends and is visibly disheveled (from spending the night in the park) and opens up to Tara about her parents.

Most people have said no to this question, but as someone who actually has misophonia, there were some sounds in this show that could potentially bother people who have it. Charlie brushing his teeth and spitting out his toothpaste was a trigger for me, as well as typing sounds and loud cheering sounds at the sports event in the last episode. It all depends on the person!

They watch doctor who on tv (specifically the episode The Runaway Bride), while some of the cast is actually from doctor who or went on to play roles in it (Annette Badland, Yasmin Finney, Olivia Coleman, Jonathon Bailey). It’s more of a nod to British TV culture but some might see it as a 4tg wall break

Not exactly misrepresentation but, as an aroace-spec person, the way Isaac's asexuality is handled in the show feels disrespectful and poorly done. If you're trying to make the point that a person not getting any attention because they aren't in a relationship while the rest of their friends are is bad and that there's more to people than their romantic relationships, the show itself shouldn't prove the character's point that they don't matter. Isaac is extremely one note and his asexuality feels like an afterthought thrown in when the writers realised they'd done absolutely nothing with his character. He never got any attention in the narrative until his low effort asexuality plot line and barely even spoke. He feels forgotten, and, in his current state, is not good ace rep.

However a character does say they think something is wrong with themselves because they don't seem to experience attraction in the ways their friends do, and the person they are talking to replies saying "maybe they just haven't found the right person yet"

There is not, but there is a very close call in episode 4(?) of season 3 when Nick accidentally drives onto the wrong side of the road while learning how to drive. The instructor in the car quickly fixes the mistake and there's no immediate danger.

Charlie’s nose bleeds after he tries to tackle someone during the first (?) rugby match.
(Later episode) In the scene after Nick’s altercation at the cinema, he has a bit of blood on his tissue.
