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.

As standard for British crime drama the police are portrayed mostly positively but its not as overtly propaganda as American shows can be, and doesn't portray police as infallible

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.

Mostly Norse paganism. Occasionally, there's a Christian preacher or nun, but their beliefs aren't really discussed.

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.

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.

An abuse victim expresses concern about this but is reassured that that's not always the case.

I'm going to say yes even though the diagnosis isn't used, because someone who has an apparent intellectual disability and is perceived as "odd" is socially outcast, bullied, and even beat up, and it could be a bit triggering.
