In episode three, after the scene where Bendek pays rent, it shows the man who threatened him with deportation earlier walking through his house looking for his dog, Bounty. You see him hanging dead from the back of a door.

There's a disturbing sequence with a mouse. It's unclear whether a real mouse was harmed to film it.

A character in S3 has a heroin addiction and there are scenes in which it is used and a subsequent death.

Marcella uses illicit drugs.

Side character drug use.

Not abuse, but Marcella very often drinks beer alone, so it kinda feel a depressed drinking.

Also there's talk in S1 of a former alcoholic relapsing.
And talk of an alcoholic father in S2.

At the very end of S02E02, Edward, Marcella's son, kills one of his pet mice.
I found it pretty disturbing, although you kind of see it coming so it's easy to mute/cover the screen.

In S02E05 an already dead fox is shown on screen, Edward poking it with a stick, pretty gruesome, you can see the death wound.

Someone is found in a lorry, stabbed in the eye. It's shown on screen, though not excessively close.
Several causes of death are eye related, and though it's not shown on screen, we see a victim just before it happens, wearing an eyelid opener

Absolutely. I'm not sure why two people have pressed no. Season 2 is about a serial killer who lobotomises children then buries them in prominent places around London - they then suffocate or starve or just die. Season 3 episode 1 has a host of immigrants found dead in the back of a truck.

In season 3, one man is the target of many ableist comments. Characters make snide comments about his phobia of germs. In episode 7, the man's brother attacks him for not going along with a scheme. He is tied to a fence, urinated on, and left where he cannot act on his compulsive need to wash himself. He is also coded as autistic and called Rain Man.
