In Season 2, Anna and Maya begin stalking some of the guys they like. Which includes hiding their own hair in their lockers and constantly following them around. The stalking plot line is most evident in the third episode of Season 2, but it is very distressing and disturbing.

Is a minor sexualized?

A LOT throughout the series, but shown in a generally negative light. The two main characters are middle schoolers but portrayed by adults, and whenever they have a kissing/sexual scene with a minor, the camera shots never show both characters onscreen at the same time because the minor is always swapped out for an adult double. The series focuses heavily on middle schoolers dealing with puberty and sexual desire. Characters who are minors have sexual experiences with one another, and in S2 Pt. 2 the two main characters date predatory high schoolers who sexually and emotionally take advantage of them. In the same season, a main character is also scammed by a fake modeling agency who just want to take inappopriate photos of her in a bra/bikini. Don’t watch this series if sexualization of minors is a big trigger for you, but note that it is never made to seem like it’s a wholly positive thing, it’s either neutral/comical or negative.

S2E6 “Play”: Maya can’t focus when she is rehearsing for the play because Gabe is chewing very loudly. His chewing progressively gets louder as the scene goes on to pair with Maya’s anxiety rising. If you have misophonia, I’d recommend just skipping minutes 11-12:40.

The intro/theme song to each episode is a sequence of fast-moving images, which could count as flashing lights. I don’t have epilepsy, but the intro does give me a headache so I always skip through it.

S2 Pt. 2 the two main characters date high schoolers who are predatory towards them. Although it is only a two-year age difference, 7th and 9th graders are in very different developmental stages, so the high schoolers have a power advantage over them.
