Only referenced. A serial rapist is caught with several young women's IDs in his glove box, all of which were reported missing and then found after they supposedly overdosed and died. This same information is repeated in different phrasing a few times.

In the first episode, someone tells a story about a teenage boy admitted to hospital with third-degree burns near his genitals. In a later episode, a main character is threatened with castration, but the threat is not carried out.

Mild, but “Maniac and the Moobles, Part I” cuts between flashbacks and a main character attempting to reason out of a torture scenario.

In "The Pit" a character experiences their teeth being not damaged, but altered in a way that is impossible, but still likely jarring for some listeners

It's a little tricky to define—a character knows they will not survive and allows themself to die. Another character crashes a vehicle, but it's unclear whether their death was intended or not.

In "The Maniac the Moobles Part II," a character stabs themself several times. In the last episode, one character burns themself with cigarettes and cuts themself to stay awake.
