S3: E8 - someone has their thigh skinned on purpose to "join" an organization. It's extremely graphic. They also use a needle for anesthesia. Skip around 19:00 - 20:00.

Season 1 Episode 9, about 28 minutes in, there is a graphic depiction of someone slitting their wrist with a razor blade. It's not done in the context of self harm, but is certainly enough to trigger.

It isn't, at all. A lot of fans think one of the main characters (Melanie) is actually a fairly accurate depiction of autism.

Season 2 episode 2 graphically depicts a suicide. Although in my opinion it toes the line between a suicide and a homicide because he was told to do it by someone who has complete control over his life. It's really obvious when it's going to happen, look away when one man takes off his robe and gets into a bath with another man and hands him a knife.

Season one has various comments about worth on the train being defined as the work one contributes. Much of the season focuses on characters defiance of this worldview.
(Season 2) When a Talie character is assaulted, someone make note that the assailants targeted her hands as to impact her ability to work.
