I don’t know if it technically counts as gaslighting, but a girl who suffers abuse and witnesses another child being abused and murdered is involuntarily admitted to a psych hospital. Her abuser tells the doctors that the girl is psychotic, experiences delusions (like witnessing abuse and murder), and self-harms (she does not, the wounds and scars are from being abused). The girl can’t protest and claim she’s telling the truth because it only further cements in the doctors minds that she is completely delusional. So, the abuser doesn’t exactly make the victim question their sanity and reality, but convinces others that the victim is unstable and can’t be believed

Almost every episode. It's the sex crime show. Some episodes aren't about rape and are instead about abused, kidnapped or killed children, but if the rape just being mentioned is triggering to you, please don't watch this show, for your own mental health.

Not in the traditional sense, but a teenage girl is committed to a psych hospital against her will to make her seem like an unreliable witness to abuse and murder. The girl claiming that she’s telling the truth only further convinces the doctors that she is delusional. The doctor says that the girl will have a “long stay” at the facility because no one wants her. She does get rescued

All main characters are either cops or lawyers and they’re almost always portrayed as being justified in their actions - even when in clear violation of the law or when brutalizing suspects.

A few episodes attempt to tackle police brutality and/or unethical policing, but it rarely effects the main characters. The few times it does effect main characters, they are typically portrayed sympathetically.

The slurs “faggot”, “dyke”, and “tranny” are used pejoratively, especially in early seasons.

Early episodes use retarded, I’m not sure if there’s much more than that.

There’s an episode in season three covering a woman with Down syndrome and whether she’s competent to have a baby and live her own life.

Like the other comment says. It's the version of the word ending with -er, not -a, if that matters to anyone.

“Raw” features characters who are white supremacists/Nazis. They use many slurs, including ones targeted at Jews.

Slurs "t*nny" and referring to transgender individuals as "he-shes" are used, especially in the earlier seasons.

Multiple times in 4x21 — the episodes victim is a trans woman and she’s also referred to with a deadname, as the t slur, and as a ‘heshe’

The gymnastics coach apparently calls a teen girl “fatso”. Lots of the young gymnasts complain about being too fat and needing to lose weight. (Technically not a joke but there’s definitely fatphobia and body shaming)

Some of the sex crimes are hate crime based — the earliest instance is 4x21 where a trans woman is described to have been assaulted since she was 12. Frequently by perps in all seasons and by cops in the earlier seasons.

Many episodes end tragically, either with a death, suicide, or a miscarriage of justice.

Blood and brain matter are found outside an apartment. Photos of this are shown later to a perp in interrogation. It’s not TOO gross/graphic (I tend to be squeamish about gore) and this wasn’t too bad for me.

Later, a man is about to shoot a woman in the head through a pillow, but a cop shoots him instead. Blood spatters all over the pillow and for a few moments, you don’t really know if the man pulled the trigger and killed the woman or not, but she turns out to be okay
