It's implied (and official in the book series the show is based on) that a main character was abandoned by his mother in the past, and was raised by his grandparents.
This is likely to be explored more in later seasons, but as of season 2, it's barely been mentioned.

Spider lies to River about whether he said "blue shirt, white tee" or "white shirt, blue tee." This makes the characters (and the viewer) question what's true.

Catherine is a recovering alcoholic, and attends AA meetings. Lamb drinks frequently, and also offers alcohol to Catherine.
Not necessarily alcohol abuse, but characters do drink to unwind, such as in season 1 when Min and Louisa both go to the bar alone after work.

Yes, a few times throughout the series.
In season 1, Hassan is tied up (sometimes with tape over his mouth) for the majority of the time he's onscreen.
In season 2, River gets tied up with rope at the flying club, to prevent him from stopping a terrorist attack.

Tape is frequently put over Hassan's mouth in season 1.
In season 2, Louisa is grabbed with a hand over her mouth. This briefly makes the viewer think she's being attacked, but it turns out to be Marcus stopping her from doing something dangerous.

There's blood when characters die or get injured, but it isn't super excessive.
[Spoilers]
The scene of Min's murder could be considered pretty gory, though it's mostly just blood.

No, but in season 2, it seems like a plane is going to be flown into a building. This is referred to by characters as a "Code September", and the building is evacuated. No terrorist attack actually occurs.

Actual cops are referred to as pigs (mostly by Roddy), so they aren't viewed favorably. However, the main characters all work for MI5, another law enforcement organization, even though they rarely follow orders.

Throughout season 1, there are flashbacks to Catherine finding the body of her boss, who committed suicide with a gun.
[Spoilers]
It's later revealed that he was killed by someone else, and it was only framed as a suicide.

No, but River panics after realizing he called in a terrorist attack by mistake in season 2. This isn't depicted as an anxiety attack, but could be considered similar.

Someone is locked in a closet for a short while. It isn't a tight space, since it's a big closet, but it could still be triggering to some people.

Lamb refers to a cigarette as a f*g, but that's just what British people call cigarettes, so it isn't being used in a derogatory way.

Jokes about religions (particularly Islam, Christianity, and Buddhism) are made as part of a stand-up comedy routine in season 1. The main plotline of the season is about a college student being kidnapped by white nationalists because he's Muslim.

Dementia is a theme throughout season 4, specifically with David, River’s grandfather. In S4 E6 (the finale), River has to put his grandfather in a memory care facility. While it’s very well written, this could be triggering for those who have been through something like this.

The endings of both season 1 and season 2 are bittersweet. They both involve mourning the loss of a major character, though some things turn out okay, so they aren't entirely sad endings.
