There are also suicide jokes sprinkled here and there. MOST RELEVANT EPISODES: S1E8 (gun to head; survives), S2E2 (hanging; dies) S2E3 (aftermath of prev; mention of a suicide pact), S2E9 (contemplating), S2E18 (edge of a building), S3E1 (flashback of prev), S3E8 (mentioned); S3E12 (gun to head; dies); S3E13 (gun to head). I would also be cautious when watching the "previously on Star" recaps at the beginning of episodes.

No, but a kid becomes extremely ill and hospitalized in the later half of Season 2. Also, the possibility of a past baby's death becomes a side plot in S3.

SEASON 1: A main character is sexually assaulted by their foster father (flashbacks to this throughout the show). Another character lies that a woman is his niece (not actually related), but they end up having a sexual relationship.
MOST RELEVANT EPISODES: S1E1 (explicitly shown SA mentioned above); S1E10 (tries to kiss bio father without knowing); S2E16 (retelling a story).
S3E5 and onwards features a plotline about past SA by father, including confrontations with him, victim blaming, not being believed, etc. I would also be cautious when watching the "previously on Star" recaps at the beginning of episodes.

People call each other things like "crazy", "narcissistic", "insane" etc.. Basically the type of ableist language that is normalized, including anti-addict rhetoric. From S1E11 onward there is a plotline where someone becomes physically disabled and is extremely distressed about it. People treat him poorly, there are offhand jokes about it going forward (including in a diss track against his partner), and the plotline is generally written like he's a burden and needs to overcome his disability.

The show is pretty anti-cop. From the jump, the show takes a Black Lives Matter stance, and anti-Black racism is a main theme. Most of the main cast is Black and have negative views towards the police, border and immigration services, and similar institutions.

Star and Simone (sisters) are both foster children, as their mother died. This is integral to the plot and their characters. A lot of the other characters have also been emotionally/physically/financially abandoned by their parents. In the second half of S3 a mother heavily considers giving up her baby for adoption.

For the most part no, however I am not part of all the communities in this show so I cannot say for certain. Minority groups include (and intersections): Black people, Latine people, women overall especially trans women, disabled and/or mentally ill people, queer people. I do have a gripe with S3E8 talking about someone who is bipolar flipping between moods on a day-to-day basis, which is not how it works.

Various characters who were abused or witnessed abuse become abusive to their partner, family etc.. A difficult plotline including IPV abuse is introduced in S1E5, is most graphic in S1E7, S1E8, S1E11, and S1E12. Other characters have also been abused and act abusively towards others, sometimes repeatedly.

A handful of the characters are Christian. God is mentioned frequently in the religious sense, and characters pray. Some scenes also take place within church.

Almost every single character in this show is mentally ill to some extent. Most of them are undiagnosed/do not use formal labels, but the symptoms and traits are evident.

One of the main cast is addicted to cocaine. One of the main characters smokes weed and takes prescription medication (not theirs) to cope with mental health issues. The main characters' mother died of a heroin overdose. A character introduced Season 2 is trying to recover from alcoholism and opioid use. Characters occasionally get involved in drug dealing. Drugs are commonly used and mentioned throughout the show.

Lots of swearing like "damn", "ass", b***h (sometimes affectionately but sometimes as an insult". I don't believe there are the s*** or f*** words.

The main characters live above a hair salon, so some scenes may have head busts with wigs on them.

Not really, but one of the characters in the main cast is a Black trans woman, and she is unfortunately treated badly because of it (including by her own family). However, the show's message is one of learning and acceptance.

One of the characters in the main cast is a Black trans woman, and she is unfortunately treated badly because of it (including by her own family). She is often misgendered and sometimes deadnamed especially by her mother, whether intentionally or not. However, the show's message is generally one of 'acceptance' and compassion towards trans people. There is also another trans/non-binary person who seems to be referred to using multiple pronouns, but it is never specifically stated what their identity or pronouns are, so it's hard to say whether they get misgendered.

There are also suicide jokes sprinkled here and there. MOST RELEVANT EPISODES: S2E2 (hanging; dies); S3E12 (gun to head; dies); S3E13 (prev. instance is mentioned frequently + another by gun to head). I would also be cautious when watching the "previously on Star" recaps at the beginning of episodes.

Throughout the show, a trans woman gets deadnamed and misgendered, sometimes on purpose. She corrects them most of the time but it feels a bit too normalized.

Star and Simone (sisters) are both foster children, and have experienced a lot of abuse while in foster homes. A main plot of child sexual abuse is introduced and shown semi-graphically in the first episode. Many other characters experience or have also experienced physical/sexual/emotional/financial abuse as children.

In S1E1 we see (clothed) sexual assault of a minor. In S3E18 someone is tricked into having sex with someone who isn't their partner. There are also instances of "fully consensual" sex involving minors under 18 throughout the show, including with main characters. On-screen straight-up sexual assault doesn't happen that often (usually cuts away without graphic details), but I'd say there are enough dubious consent scenes that I would maybe avoid the show if it makes you uncomfortable.

In S1E1 we see (clothed) sexual assault of a minor, and there are flashbacks to this throughout the show. In S3E1 someone is sexually assaulted in their home, and it becomes a new plotline until the end of S3E9, and is brought up again in the last episode. There are instances of "consensual" sex involving minors under 18 and adults throughout the show, including with main characters. Characters also talk about instances where they or other people have been sexually assaulted. On-screen straight-up sexual assault doesn't happen that often (usually cuts away), but I'd say there are enough dubious consent scenes that I would maybe avoid the show if it makes you uncomfortable.

In S1E1 we see (clothed) sexual assault of a minor by her foster father, which is referenced often. Characters mention having been assaulted by older relatives (eg. plotline beginning in S3E5 where someone was SAed by their father). There are also many instances of "consensual" sex involving minors under 18 throughout the show, including with main characters.

ABSOLUTELY YES. Two of the main characters are under 18, one of them being 16. They act sexually in their music performances throughout the show. One of them has a learned habit of using sex to get what she wants or needs. There is no nudity, as most of the sex scenes are fade to black.
