S3E2 a man dies from asphyxiation. We see a little of him struggling to escape where he's trapped, but we don't really see the actual suffocating. We do see the post-mortem effects, though.

Series 2 episodes 1 and 2 revolve around the deaths of a young child and a teenager, the deaths are not shown on screen. Series 7 is about the disappearance and possible murder of a teenager as well. There are likely other episodes where children/teens die.

In Series 2 episodes 1 and 2 people use this word about a particular character but it is portrayed in a negative light and the protagonists do not use it.

Season 6 was triggering for me. It shows a character having PTSD flashbacks. It’s a great show, but there should be a TW. I don’t need to see that, thanks. I live with it everyday.

A very bad one at the end of S5:E5. You'll know it's coming when you see a driver texting.
