It's a very scary trigger scene though when they bring the dog in to the basement where Frank is being tortured for information. But no, the dog leaves unharmed. (I don't like that Frank keeps him tied up in his apartment though.)

Fisk comes from an abusive home. His father beats his mother and is generally violent. There are several scenes in season 1 episode 8 showing his old home life.

Illegal drug usage is an ongoing theme in general. In S1:E9 Daredevil goes after a junkie that killed [Spoilers] who is seen taking, and surrounded by drug paraphernalia onscreen.

One of the first scenes in the entire show appears to be the attempted trafficking of several young women. No one is actually assaulted but it could be quite triggering

In Season 1 Episode 4, about 47 minutes in a man is beaten and his head is slammed repeatedly by a car door, causing his head to come off. Loud squishing and splatter noises are heard, along with the sound of his head coming off.

In S1xe07 a character has their hand removed, and several of the early episodes in Season 2 depict a character who, similarly, lost their hand.

after vanessa is walked home, weasley brings Anatoly to kingpen. i would end the episode after he is grabbed from the car just to be safe, as it is incredibly drawn out and graphic. if gore and violence in general is ok and decapitation is the only issue, then stop the episode when anatoly is set up against the car.

Daredevil’s dad dies in season 1 episode 2. This can be upsetting, especially considering the whole episode shows that he was a caring father.

This is a complicated incident, because the show has flashbacks and jumps around the timeline: Matt is involved with one girl at first, and when the other girl shows up, there is no romance between her and Matt. The first girl sees them and makes assumptions (because vigilante secrets) and cuts it off with Matt, and only then do Matt and the second girl get together. However, the whole thing has the general cheating vibe, from necessary lies and deception (again, vigilante secrets).

S1E1 young women are shoved, struggling, into a shipping container. Later in the episode a child is kidnapped.
S1E2 we hear the child being held hostage and SPOILER he is rescued.
S1E4 a woman is grabbed from her home and stuffed in the trunk of a cab

A large part of the show is dedicated to how corrupt and easily manipulated the police force is, especially in season 3.

No, but Matt is quite autistic-coded, and due to his powers, he has a lot of sensory issues that work similarly, which leads to abuse of him as if he were autistic for being autistic.

SPOILER:
Matt loses his hearing temporarily and sits on the ground screaming and panicking. Very sad and somewhat triggering scene.

The main character has an anxiety attack that could be depicted as a meltdown in S2E2. SPOILER: The meltdown is brought on by the character (blind), being temporarily rendered deaf.

(Personal experience, others may differ) In most episodes there is gunfire accompanied by bright flashes, which triggers my photo-sensitivity. There are also multiple instances of alarms being tripped or power being cut from lights, causing the same effect.

James Wesley - Fisk's confidant - was implied to be gay and showed devotion to Fisk beyond that of a close friend, and vice versa. [SPOILER] he is killed in the 11th episode of season 1 by Karen for reasons unrelated to his sexuality.

There are consistent remarks/actions against Matt for being blind. Most are played off by Matt being more gracious than the ableists or Foggy cracking a joke, but some really sting.

Religion is a very large part of Matt's character. He is shown in a church and at confession many times throughout the show, and he was said to have grown up in a Catholic orphanage.

Episodes 5 and 6 of season 2 have sex scenes. The second is very brief. Nothing graphic is shown in either.

Daredevil talks about the first time he did vigilante justice, in which he beat up a man who was sexually abusing his daughter. This is never shown, only said. It’s in the later half of Nelson vs. Murdock (s1 episode 10). Skip until after the train scene if you don’t want to hear about it.

In season one, a wife of a character is alluded to dealing with Alzheimer's and memory loss. This becomes rather plot-relevant and her memory loss is shown on screen in episodes 12 and 13.

Blood and gore is inevitable in this show, showing up in pretty much every single episode I can recall. The degree of graphic that it is depends on the episode. Some only feature small scrapes and bruises while others show (spoilers for various deaths/ near deaths ahead): things like a man having his head beat in with a car door, the main character almost dying several times from being severely injured from various weapons, including deep gashes from knives shown in vivid detail, and a man impaling his head on a spike. These aren't the only examples.
