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.

River gets the absolute s**t beaten out of him in a basement by Duffy and Hobbs in S3 and gets pretty much verbally bullied - he then runs around the rest of the season with face injuries from it.

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.

The scene of Min's murder could be considered pretty gory, though it's mostly just blood.

In S1 there's a character who makes a personality trait out of getting shaves at a barber's, he gets nicked at one point but it's obviously not graphic and he's fine, one of the other characters later meets him at said barbers mid shave.

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.
