Addiction

Anonymous
A lot. I wouldn't watch if heroin triggers you. Basically every scene with Isaac the painter is about drugs or tangentially involves drugs.

He's addicted to heroin and suffered a relapse before the events of episode 1, and he resists his GFs help trying to get him into rehab because the drugs enable his powers

In episode 2 his girlfriend tells him he overdosed and threatens to break up

At the end of ep 2 it's implied he's on the edge of relapse and we see drug paraphenelia

E3 he uses onscreen

He detoxes in E8 but then HRG forces him to use again (onscreen, very triggering)

E17: Isaac relapses after losing Simone (it happens in the scene right after Mohinder's prisoner escapes)

In episode 1 enforcers try to assault Nickie on camera but she hulks out and kills them, the scene is very long and unpleasant and it's revisited in episode 2

Episode 3 there's a 3-4 minute scene when Claire and Brody are kissing on the bleachers and he tries to assault her and he shoves her and she breaks her neck

also E3 the mobsters tell nickie to sleep with the politician for blackmail material, and she beats the shit out of one of them who threatens her

E4 there's a stupid awful scene where she "apologizes" to brody for trying to kill him

Hiro finds Isaac with his head sawed open in E2 and then there's another guy frozen solid in literally the very next scene

There are a couple brief shots in later episodes (7? 8?) of people with the same thing happened to them

In E9 we see someone's head get telekinetically sliced open in the locker rooms

This is a running theme with Claire so I might have missed a few but she injures herself in really awful ways that are bad to watch

claire jumps off a bridge in episode 1 on camera to demonstrate her healing abilities and fixes her shoulder onscreen (and then later her ribs in the next scene) and she describes injuring herself in other ways

(E9) in the locker room scene claire gets thrown and then fixes several broken bones and a mutilated face

(E9) Shortly after that scene two people fall to their "death" during the chase scene and one of them is horribly mutilated and then gets fixed

(E9) Right after a fleeing character is magically hypnotized to sleep, there's a shot of police car lights and then a character fixes a broken bone onscreen. It's quick

Whenever Sylar kills someone it's pretty bad with a lot of blood and screaming

There are other times someone is tied to a chair and beaten or stuff like that, but no other actual "torture", speaking as someone who's super sensitive to that stuff

E17 Someone who's cuffed to a chair is super briefly tortured with a needle in the spine

Very first episode Claire jumps off a bridge and mutilates herself to demonstrate her regeneration powers, and we see the tape played a couple of times in later eps

Two people fall to their "death" in a scene in E9 ( during the chase scene at the school)

Claire jumps off bridge again S1E12

Invisible guy throws someone off a building to their death in S1E14

No "kids" but a few times someone's (adult) child or sibling dies and they're mourned

Two characters turn out to have siblings who died and there's some brief mourning (around episode 9/10)

Claire is shot in ep 16 in front of her family and her mother and brother think she's dead, it's very intense

Peter briefly dies in episode 18 and his mother+brother mourn him

Micah died in the alternate timeline we see in E20

Isaac does drugs just off-screen a couple times but we don't see it go in

End of E12 + beginning of episode 13 Niki is forcibly sedated (also E13 Sylar is given an injection)

E17 Sylar is put on an IV and tortured with a syringe in his spine, but we dont see it go in

Niki is forcibly institutionalized at the end of S1E12 + beginning of E13 (straightjacket, needle, really unpleasant) and for the next few episodes she's in a padded room

Claire mutilates herself almost every episode to demonstrate/test her powers and it's kind of implied that she's addicted to it. Don't watch if self harm/suicidal ideation/body horror bothers you

there's a LOT of suicide or attempts or mentions or jokes

season 1 episodes 1 AND 2 open with someone dreaming about jumping off a building

claire also jumps off a bridge in episode 1 on camera to demonstrate her healing abilities and fixes her shoulder onscreen (and then her ribs in the next scene) and she describes injuring herself in other awful ways

peter+nathan's father died by suicide and their mom talks about it at length in E2

peter spends a lot of time jumping off things trying to fly

Episode 3 Matt hears the thoughts of a suicidal woman at the bar and at the end Claire crashes a car with Brody in it, trying to kill both of them

In Episode 11 Eden tries to tell Sylar to shoot himself but he grabs her so she shoots herself instead

There are some police car lights but I didn't catch them all

(episode 5) there's soft flashing illuminating the scene right after Ando leaves Niki's house

(E9) towards the end, after a fleeing character is magically hypnotized to sleep, there's a brief shot of police car lights

Peter begins having visions of the future around episode 9 that are rapid-fire and kind of flashy

The plot is about them trying to save new york from a nuclear explosion and several time travelling or prophetic characters see it happen

Hiro sees it happen out the window of Isaacs office at the end of episode 1

Peter sees it in visions starting in episode 9, in graphic detail in E12)

BIG SPOILERS

There's a lot, no way I could get it all, but here's some of the prominent ones

Claire's family is held at gunpoint and Claire is shot
Isaac tries to shoot Peter but shoots Simone by accident
at the end Claire's father gets the Haitian guy to shoot him

E17 Jessica finds+kills Nathan's FBI handlers

E20 Future Hiro is shot towards the end just as he's about to teleport them back to the past
