Final season ep5, Lalo breaks in to a home and we see a small dog behind a gate. He speaks briefly in Spanish to the dog but leaves it unharmed. Shortly afterwards the homeowner comes back and let’s the dog out of the gate. The dog runs and barks up at the stairs where Lalo is, but is quickly put back in the room and locked back up safely behind the gate. The homeowner explores upstairs but only finds an open window where Lalo has presumably escaped - so the dog is fine!

Specifically, the entire plot of season one is revealed to be heavily informed by gaslighting in its final episode, and the character gaslit commits some as revenge in season two.

It can be argued Saul becomes the abuser against his brother Chuck. It's apparent Chuck doesn't treat his brother very well, mocks him, and looks down on him. The resentment at Chuck pushes Saul to ruin his brother's life and career.

In one episode, Jimmy and a friend are implied to trick 2 women into sex. This is confirmed when he is woken up by a women saying "Hey! You are NOT Kevin Costner!"
This is called rape by deceit and falls under the classification of sexual assault.

i wouldn't count it as "horror" per se, rather just the occasional very bloody shot. not meant to scare you -- more so meant to slightly gross out the squeamish.

There are a lot of deaths; most are in seasons 5 and 6. Most are not too graphic. The deaths in 4x2 and 5x10 are pretty graphic, the deaths in 6x3 and 6x9 are shocking but not very graphic, and the deaths in 3x10 and 4x10 are emotionally affecting, but not graphic. All others are no particularly graphic or from characters we know particularly well. There’s around ~30 deaths, ~20 of which are onscreen.

E2 - Saul v* while out drinking. There is plenty of warning of it happening as there is lots of breaking of bread sticks, you won't be surprised it's coming.
S2
E5 - while in court saul points out a stain on another lawyers jacket. He replies saying "oh, that's v*". It doesn't look like anything, no other mention of it. Didn't personally find it triggering at all.
S3 - safe
S4
E5 - about 40/41mins in - a second guy is being taken by van to look at excavating the basement for Gus. He is making a lot of unhappy noise, clutching he stomach etc, obviously feeling very car s*. He tells Mike "I'm gonna t*u*". He does not actually v* though. After arriving and being given water he burps badly a couple of times but again, no v*. It did make me feel uncomfortable though.
S5 - safe
S6
E3 - Nacho appears to be s*. It happens about 8.20mins in. He was hiding in a fertiliser tank. As he climbs out once the salamancas are gone he is coughing and gagging. I wasnt totally sure if it was v* but it sounds nasty. It appears in silhouette and is very quick. So no obvious visual. Skip about 10 second from him climbing out and you'll miss it. I found it a bit uncomfortable from the sound but the visual wasn't too bad, kind of looked like water and is in silhouette.

in the second episode at around 22 minutes there is the sound of bone cracking twice. it’s off screen but you can clearly hear it and it’s paired with laughter and pained screams. and at around 26 minutes there are breadsticks cracking which reminds a character of the cracking bones.

Chuck is severely mentally ill and convinced he cannot come into contact with electricity. Jimmy/Saul has PTSD towards the end and much of his behavior is in line with that of someone with undiagnosed ADHD (the showrunners have not confirmed nor denied this). These problems are exacerbated by his refusal to go to therapy. Howard goes into a deep depression during season 4 but recovers. Lalo is most likely a sociopath or psychopath, and Tuco is a psychotic sociopath. One character commits suicide, though it’s less out of mental health issues and more out of the feeling that if he doesn’t do it, his enemies will. Another character also commits suicide, and in that case it is absolutely due to mental illness.
