S01E10 around 27:35, when Holder and Linden are in Belko's house talking with his mother, she tells the detectives that Belko used to have a cat that peed on his bed, so she dumped the cat in the trash.
S03E01 around 35:00, Linden gets to an abandoned barn. You can see dead animals all around, and by the end of the scene it's shown that one cow is still alive, and suffering. Apparently someone left the animals to die of starvation.

On S01E10 It is implied that the pet hamster of the Larson's boys is dead, and that the adults are just ignoring the dead animal and pretending it's just resting.

From 27:50-29:41, Mitch presumably has sex (not shown, the scene cuts away before anything more than kissing happens) with someone she met after leaving her family.
She initially seems reluctant to do so—and the guy is willing to leave—but she tells him she doesn’t want him to go and kisses him as the camera pans out.

Nothing is actually shown onscreen in season one, but it’s mentioned at a couple different points throughout the season that Linden was previously institutionalized after she presumably became too fixated on solving a case.

A character shoots himself in the head around 40 minutes in. The scene lasts less than a minute—fast forward until you see the hospital and you should be fine.

A character is shot (offscreen, though we hear the gunshots on a news broadcast after the fact); another character is killed by the same shooter (again, we don’t see this taking place—but we do see the body afterwards).
At around 40 minutes in, the shooter gets ahold of another gun in the police station. He fires off one shot that doesn’t hit anyone before turning the gun on himself.
The scene lasts less than a minute—fast forward until you see the hospital and you should be fine.
