In campaign two: As the pet is technically a fey creature that takes on the appearance of a cat, it can’t die or feel pain, but it is “killed” a few times while it is in the form of other animals.

season 1: there is a scene where a character is disguised as a child and jokes that a party member disguised as his father was abusive towards him (no abuse occurs and the person isn’t actually a child). also some rough relationships between the twins and their father, and it could be interpreted that their father was abusive.
Season 2: one character has a very bad relationship with their parents and some of their backstory and comments about their parents make it seem like their parents were probably abusive. This is all in backstory though.

Fights can get very graphic, and the party is often descriptive or asked to describe how they kill their enemies.

there are multiple occurrences in both the first and second season where the environment makes breathing difficult, such as toxic air, or being underwater, though this is usually quickly solved by magical effects and items

Campaign 1: An npc is tortured and found naked and bloody in the torture chamber.
Campaign 2: Three characters get kidnapped by slave traders and it is implied that torture might have happened, especially for one of the characters who was separated from the other two. A child npc (son of a guest character) is tortured by the same slave traders.

First season: Keyleth jumps off a cliff and transforms herself into a goldfish, underestimating the damage that falling off a giant cliff would do to her. It's very much joked about, and not tragic at all. She's brought back to life shortly after.

There is a scene at the end of episode 25 of campaign 2 that comes out of nowhere and could be particularly triggering, especially since the story is told in first and second person. The following arc is all about human trafficking.

First season: The party gets cleaned up, and have casual and funny conversations with each other. Two party members have a bath together, but the circumstance is very humorous and heart-warming.
Second season: Two party members go to a bathhouse together. They both have private baths.
-The party go to a bath house and all bathe together in a public bath. It's taken as a cool-down moment for all of the excitement.

While there is none explicitly, there was a prominent discussion regarding the names of certain characters in which many considered the use of older names 'deadnaming'. YMMV.

Yes, while not constant by any means the cast does eat during the game and there are moments where it is very audible and uncomfortable. This was more noticeable in the second season where the audio fidelity is much higher.

Second season: the character Caleb suffers from anxiety and ptsd, and occasionally has bouts of anxiety. He is typically guided through them by his friends.
The character Caduceus also has an anxiety attack in episode 36 but he isn’t talked through it by his friends.

While it’s never explicitly labeled as such in game, one of the characters speaks extremely negatively about her appearance. The DM (who has body dysmorphia himself) has referred to it as such out of game.

The whole show is filmed in a studio. The camera work is professional and steady, and even more so in the second season. There are one or two instances where a camera drops, but it's very rare.

Campaign 3 has new set effects that occasionally contain lightning effects or moving lights, but it's in the background behind the characters and only especially dramatic during one character's dream sequences (steady but intense red light, dust storm effects)

There are a couple incidents where a player accidentally misgenders an npc and are corrected (jmon sa’ord in c1, Bryce in c2)
C2: There is a cis female character played by a man, and sometimes the players will accidentally refer to the character using he/him pronouns because those are the player’s pronouns, instead of the characrer’s pronouns

A character in the first season uses almost exclusively guns to fight. Few others have them.
In the second season guns are seen occasionally and rarely used.
