SPOILERS_______________In S7 Ep 7, Mateo reveals that his mother in law (who lives with him) wants to kill him. The show is mainly sympathetic towards Mateo, but also victims blames by suggesting Mateo recieves the abuse because he is a neglectful father. When Mateo tries to leave, his mother in law verbally abuses him, holds him at gunpoint and ties him up (he is gagged too). When a friend calls the police, the police don't want to do anything and minimise the abuse. The mother in law sets fire to Mateo's motorbike, and there's a gunshot and it's made to look like she killed him. However, he has managed to escape and is physically unharmed.___________In S8 Ep6, a woman kidnapps a man and makes him marry her at gunpoint

No, but in S3 E2 a naked man gets a boy to stand infront of him so people can't see his genitals, and everyone thinks he's sexually assaulted the boy (he hasn't but it looks like it)

In the episode where they don't have the money for a bull fight, so instead have Mateo v a dog, they don't actually fight, it's meant to look stupid, and the dog isn't harmed in any way.

In season 6 (I think) two characters go to a butcher shop where there are dead animals hanging from the ceiling, they then retrieve a dead pig from the dumpster and proceed to cook it. It could be disturbing for some people

Series 2, episode 5: a man is tied up and it's implied he's sexually assaulted with an object as revenge _________Series 2, episode 7: non consensual kiss
________S4 Ep 4: a woman has sex with someone while drunk, then finds out the next day it was not who they thought it was__________S5 Ep 4: a man sexually harasses a woman and grabs her bum (she gets revenge)_________S5 Ep 6 a man pretends (as a 'joke') that he slept with a woman without protection while she was very drunk___________S6 Ep 5 a man enters another man's room and accidentally falls ontop of him while he's sleeping, and the guy wakes up and thinks he's trying to rape him - this is played as a 'comic' misunderstanding as he wasn't trying to rape him, but can still be triggering. ________ In the same episode Mateo pretends to be a hairdresser so he can harrass a female guest. When she asks for him to be sacked, Mateo starts a protest that's broadcast on the news. _________S7 Ep 3 a woman blackmails Mateo into having sex with her, the act is not shown on screen but her looking pleased after is which is pretty yuck. She continues to harrass him in the next episode.________ In S7 Ep 4 there's also a scene where a woman is held down by two men while she struggles; it's not a rape scene, it's to give her an antidote in an injection, but they talk about her as if she's an animal as the person giving the injection is a vet, and he calls her a 'good girl'____________S8 Ep 3 a guy gets threatened with rape by a biker if he can't pay__________S8 Ep7 a man sexually assaults a female member of staff while she's working, by slapping her bum, and harrasses her______________ S9 Ep 1 an elderly woman grabs Liam's bum without his consent. His friend makes fun of what happened____________S9 Ep2 a young man realises he had sex with his friend's grandmother while he was too drunk to consent

S5 Ep3 someone is deciding what size breasts to have, and there's also a lot of talk about diets/losing weight, which could be triggering. ___________Also in S7 Ep 3, they start offering botox injections at the hairdressers. The hotel manager wants some and makes very negative comments about her face, as well as other people making lots of horrible remarkes. They also inject her with a dodgy ripoff (they're hairdressers) which paralyses her face

One of the characters, 'Kate' believes she is pregnant, throughout the episode she's really excited until she's told that there's no chance that she could carry a baby. While It's not a miscarriage, it's still upsetting.

S3 E4: A Trans woman is referred to as a 'fellow in a dress'
Also the plot involves a man and woman dating online without seeing pics, and when they meet he's angry when he realises she's trans

Also the t slur is used, and there are multiple transphobic jokes S3 onwards.

S4 onwards the trans character from earlier is now presented as a transvestite. The show seems to confuse the two. The t slur is used a lot

There are multiple episodes where guns are used as a threat against people. In S7 Ep7, multiple shots are fired, making us think someone is dead, but they are unharmed.
